Questions about Import "gray market" model lenses vs US model lenses.
Post Body
I ordered an import model canon lens through Abe's of Maine this past weekend for a great price but then I received a call from their customer service. When I spoke to their rep he told me that import model isn't as high quality glass, has a plastic mount rather than metal and is made in China or Malaysia rather than Japan. He then tried to sell me on the US model for several hundred more due to it's higher quality.
Is there a difference in quality or are they trying to rip me off?
