Huge Nikon price increase in China – up to 42% for some lenses

By [NR] admin | Published: March 4, 2026

Nikon introduces a huge price increase in China – up to 42% for some lenses. Leica is also raising its prices in the US, and I have the feeling that other brands will follow. The main reasons are tariffs, rising component/material costs, exchange rates (weak dollar), and the overall shrinking camera market.

Here are the lists of Nikon price increases in China:

Stores and distributors in China are removing all Sirui Z-mount lenses

Several Chinese sources report that Sirui has removed Z-mount lenses from online stores.
