- Nikon increased the price of Nikkor lenses in Hungary, this is the email I received from a reader:
“In April there has been a massive price raise in Hungary that affected several Nikon lenses, for example the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G AF-S IF ED VR. In March this product cost 139,889 HUF (around 480 Euros) and now it costs 198,990 HUF (around 680 Euros). This is more than 40% increase! I asked one of the vendors what caused this huge increase and they told me that Nikon “normalized” the prices, meaning, that the prices has been synchronized to the Western European price standards. In the same time this lens can be purchased on amazon.de for 500 Euros.”
