Bingo.  You are right, Steve.  Passport/USA is ONLY available for bodies, as
far as camera gear goes I believe.  I have NEVER seen anything but the
International Warranty cards with lenses, motor drive, flash.  If anyone has
seen differently, that Passport is available for other than bodies, I'd be
interested to know.

BTW, did you get your warranty card stamped and signed ;-)
