UWA excitement/apprehension

[jnO]

Just ordered a Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 However due to stock issues in the UK and then further cost issues I ordered it from HK, which I know is not ideal.
Did some research before and spoke to the seller quite a bit to clarify warranty coverage etc and decided to take the plunge.

Bought it from the Fujisunrise Store on eBay.

Now I have the agonising wait until it arrives :thumbsdown:

I want to use this for more urban and indoor shooting so the lower F value was appealing (alongside its comparison cost to a Canon 10-22).

Well it turned up this morning. Very fast delivery and the International Warranty card from Tokina was present and correct.

2nd was cropped to remove an annoying shadow cast from a lampost, otherwise they are just resized and saved as jpeg.

FYI - Tokina offers international warranty as standard.

I was told it was only valid in the UK if I had the card.
Most ebayers stated they only supplied their own warranty card not the official Tokina documents

Good to know though if that's the case
