So you just bought your new lens bundle from us and you're looking to find out
how you can register it with the manufacturer stay tuned we have the
answer for you
Hey everyone Adam here over at the Digital Goja showroom and as an
authorized seller for many brands like Canon Tamron and Sigma we know how
important it is to have all the information needed to register your lens
online with the manufacturer now there are many benefits for doing so and one
of the most important is that you receive your full manufacturer's
warranty in fact when you purchase from us as an authorized dealer you're gonna
get a 1-year manufacturer warranty from Canon a four year warranty from Sigma
and a six year warranty from Tamron we've had a lot of people calling in
asking us where they can locate the serial number on their lens so that they
can fill out the online registration forms so we're creating this video to
show you where you can find the serial number on most lenses so the first thing
you're going to want to do is check on the outside of the box many of the
manufacturers place a sticker with the serial number on the outside of the box
but sometimes due to shipping regulations some of those barcodes and
labels are covered so you're going to want to go ahead and open the box and
inside you'll find a serial card or sticker and some of the cards have blank
spaces for you to fill out your name and dealer information and mail to the
manufacturer this was mainly done in the past most of the time now you're gonna
fill out the registration information online with the manufacturer now the
easy part is filling out that online registration form the tricky part could
be locating the serial number on your lens and that could be because the lens
is black the numbers are very small but that's why we're doing this video we're
going to show you how to locate and find that little pattern that manufacturers
use for placing the serial number on your lenses of course there could be
variations from lens to lens but will show you how easy it is to find that
serial number finding the serial numbers on your
Tamron lens could be quite challenging because the numbers are quite small
they're faint but I recommend taking your cell phone activating the
flashlight and once you find you can take a picture of it and large
it and write down the exact numbers so first you're going to want to locate
where it says designed in Japan to the left of it you'll see some recycling
symbols and then you'll see where the lens was manufactured so right here we
have the 18 to 400 millimeter lens and the serial number is going to fall in
between where it says designed in Japan and its manufacturing and this is going
to hold true for some of the other lenses that Tamron offers even some of
the older lenses but if you have like a 24 to 70 F 2.8 or if maybe you have one
of their great prime lenses like a 45 1.8 you'll be able to find it in a
similar location now it's going to be a little bit different for your longer
telephoto zoom lenses on a lens like the 70 to 200 the serial number is going to
fall on the zoom ring now I found a little trick that will make it easier to
locate if you rotate the zoom ring to 200 millimeters the serial number will
fall just above where it says designed in Japan and this is again going to be
on the zoom ring and that's going to be the same for the 150 to 600 but on the
150 to 600 you just rotate it to 400 millimeter position and the numbers are
gonna fall just above the designed in Japan as well
finding the serial number on your Sigma lens is going to be very easy Sigma has
standardized the placement for the serial number on pretty much all their
lenses so if you have a global vision series lines in the sport contemporary
or art series what you're going to want to do is look for where it says Sigma in
white on the barrel of the lens and just look straight up and you'll be able to
locate the serial number of your lens and most Canon lenses the serial number
can be found either above or below the recycling symbols found closer to the
rear of lens mount now that holds true for the EFS lenses as it does the L
Series lenses now if you don't find the serial number it's located in any of
those positions you can look underneath the rear lens cap like on the 85
millimeter f1 point to L where the serial number is actually imprinted
on the rear lens mount once you've gathered all the information and the
serial number you're ready to go online to the manufacturers website to complete
