Interesting. The ser# on the lens that came with my kit begins with US.
The camera starts with a 3. I wonder why they just don't do the same thing
with the camera body.

You're right.My former Nikon-FM2 was brought from USA to Greece, and the
owner wanted to sell it, because a fully-manual camera was too complicated
for him.As everyone understands, there was no guarantee for it.But, the
Tamron 24mm/f2.5 had one, and after fungus developed inside the lens, it was
cleaned for free.I hope my current Kodak CX 7300 will not need (servicing)
for a long time to go...
