Another question, does the lifetime warrenty on the nikon apply if i import one here?

If you import you will only get warrenty from the origanal seller. Which mean returning it overseas, Waiting for them to sort something and waiting for the return. Thats if they don't lose it.....
Buying in NZ costs you more but most retailers will help you out even if they didn't sell it to you.

Thats very true but sadly the only price i can find in nz is about $50 off twice the price!

Thats why its better to import and have to part with $40 odd to return to the retailer in the states...
Usually you have a brand new product back in a few short weeks and severe apoligies...
I know a guy sent his leica binos in for warranty with the NZ distributors... ITS BEEN A YEAR and he still no has them lol
