I bought this unit from the USA, and I am now in Japan for a visit.
I don't recall exactly the vendor that I bought my unit from.
My receipt is filed in the USA and my secretary could not locate it.
I did find the manufacturers homepage:
http://www.microtechint.com/
From that URL you can see their many products and then do a search to find
many of the vendors selling them.
Good luck and "Happy Photos!"
