Aston Martin used to have a world wide warranty. Now operates in 'zones' because people in some countries began importing them privately.

Canon warrant lenses world wide.

if they had parity pricing instead of loading the prices in some zones, it wouldnt be an issue...

Dunno about Canon but wrt Aston the pricing differences are largelydue to some countries having outrageous taxes like the LCT which sees a significant % of the PP of the car made up of taxes and duties.
