Canon, Leica, TTartisan, and today Tokina and Zeiss announced new price increases for their products. This is also a reminder that Nikon also announced a new price increase coming to Northern Europe on April 1st.
My guess is that all those prices increases will slowly propagate also to other countries.
Check Nikon’s prices and availability at one of our Europen sponsors:
In addition to India, new Nikon Z7II and Z6II kits with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S lens are now available also in Hong Kong. The price is HK$32,850 and HK$24,850 respectively. This is good news for people who want to upgrade to the Z7II/ Z6II, but bad news for readers who are still waiting on the 24-120mm f/4 lens – it has been out of stock since it was officially announced in October last year.

→ Nikon India added a new Nikon Z6 II camera kit with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S lens. I believe the 24-120 lens was added also to other full-frame Z cameras. Hopefully, this kit will be available also in the rest of the world.

Update – here is the statement from Louis who runs FujiAddict:
F-Foto is a Japanese company for photography accessories that has been in business for over 10 years and has several products for Nikon cameras and lenses. I have covered many of their products over the years, but the main problem was that they were available for sale only in Japan.
The company recently contacted me and informed me that F-Foto products are now also available for sale on Amazon US and Amazon Germany. Here are a few examples:
