Habicht warranty in the US?
Still torn, but there is no rush. The EII is less than half the price, but my concern is that EII won't have any service options since it would be a grey market import shipped from Japan. Amazon was able to get someone to sell the EII in the US, but didn't have the muscle to make Nikon offer a... -
