Hi Boris
You know that this is the official policy of the Israely Nikon
importer - the are taking gear bought ONLY directly from them or via
official distributors. if you get your gear from US (any shop like B&H
or adorama) - you are on your own there... you have to send it
yourself to the warranty in US or europe.
BTW, Canon in Israel does the same thing...
