Amazon advertises Nikon 7238 as shockproof which is the reason I bought them.....the Nikon packaging/literature makes no mention of shockproof. Why?

Good question. I bought them for my wife who is an avid bird watcher and is also a little rough with handling delicate things. The optics are great and they are easy to use. Most important they have held up very well after a few months of use and banging about.

Chih, I have a D7100 myself, and it did not work. My suggestion is to pay a little more and buy the Amazon Basics version. It costs a little more, but it worked perfectly.

Amazon tends to raise their price autmatically (?) if there is more interests for the item. e.g. more clicks and page views increases the price.I think the price drop for a bit due the rumor that waterpoof version of this lense is going to be out soon. This is not a water-proof lense but a great one indeed.

Clarification: Just talked to Pentax. They advise they have no "ProMaster" dealer network. Must be a retailer sponsoring the $50 promotion......

When you send back to Nikon pigs, they'll make sure you'll have to upgrade in very short time by breaking something else... This is my personal experience of 30 years. If you voice your opinion, there are millions of paid posters and Nikon employee lurking around in the cyberspace, giving reviewer misery of lifetime, not to mention spreading virus on PC, so that you won't ever dare to raise your voice against almighty Nikon pigs.

Thanx David, I'm a little disappointed also and considering it's a Nikon product I'm very surprised they decided to omit a feature like that. I've always at least bought a sky filter for all my lenses and cameras the moment I get them to at least protect the lenses and keep it clean. Guess I'll just have to be very careful with this one! Thanx again ...... at at least now we know.

Maybe because BlackRapid will stand behind their product when it drops your camera ... happened to my friend's BR dual-strap during a wedding and BlackRapid offered to pay part of the repair costs of his 70-200/2.8 lens ... not sure this manufacture would do that.

Mr. Stargazer, Carefully read the terms BEFORE you purchase. I have a Nikon D7100; I purchased a lens with the camera. My lens mount broke. They covered it. I had to send in the lens, and it was repaired and returned to me a no cost other than mailing the lens. However, I've read some reviews that claim the policy will not cover accidental breakage. This was not true in my case; they did cover it. I just cautioning you to be aware of all the terms before you push the buy button. I rated my service 4 of 5 stars.

I just went to my local Best Buy today. They had 3 D5000 in the box and I had them check all serial numbers at Nikon's web sight. All were within the recall. Most recalls give customers a serial number range so I also would not be surprised if all D5000s are recalled either.

Denis it says Nikon just as you see the advertisement. How to prove it otherwise not sure but it works for me so not so concerned what it says.

I tested the Amazon compatibility apps for your model of camera and my D90 and it's telling me it doesn't work for both of them. I check on the Nikon website for the spec for your camera and the lens format, it's says they are compatible. FYI - it is a heavy lens. Have a good shopping!

The one I ordered was designed for other Nikon models. I complained and the refunded my $. Maybe it was an error at the factory? Although the didn't have the right one so I had to go elsewhere.

I totally agree with you!! Amazon should update the shipment date online. I personally feel that it is very deceiving to customers. I ordered the Nikon D50 on June 22. Amazon kept pushing the delievery date for 3 to 4 times. I just cancelled my order of Nikon d50 from Amazon and order it elsewhere.

These reviews and questions are for all versions of this lens and the same info is visible under all different sellers of this lens. Amazon likes to mix all reviews together. So basically, we can't answer that question here because it depends on who you buy it from. Only buy from authorized Nikon sellers and you should have US warranty.

Appericate your imput Erik, really would rather know Amazon's policy from them concering USA versus import issues.... Thanks though. Amazon's price is between internet retailers like B&H;, $2700 which is a USA model & some of the bottom feeders @ $1600 for imports. Seems Amazon would make this just a bit clearer for us, so with that said, no deal untill they step up or buy from a provider with assurances.... Oh yea, just talking about D700, body only with all the usual accessories that would come with the purchase, strap, battery & so on....
