Email sent to customers of Grays of Westminster:
“As a uniquely Nikon-only shop, Grays of Westminster is the perfect destination for your Nikon needs. Now, as well as a full range of bodies and accessories, we are pleased to announce that we unexpectedly have in stock a very small number of the following sought-after, rarely available lenses:
AF-S 300mm f/2.8G VR IF-ED (available while stocks last at the special price of £3,299) – RRP after March 1st is £4,999
AF-S 400mm f/2.8G VR IF-ED (available while stocks last at the special price of £5,749) – RRP after March 1st is £8,199
AF-S 200mm f/2G VR IF-ED (available at the old price of £2,949) – RRP after March 1st is £3,849
…This is certainly an excellent time to make purchases of Nikon cameras, lenses and accessories from Grays of Westminster. Due to the sterling/yen differential, an increase of price will occur with all Nikon kit on the first of March, 2009. However, we are able to offer our range of Nikon bodies, lenses and accessories all at very favourable prices at this precise moment, so there is not a better moment to buy the kit you have always desired than now.”
I guess as long as the yen keeps getting stronger against other currencies, we will keep seeing price increases.
