New Nikon price increase list (all lenses and accessories made in China, no camera price increases)

By [NR] admin | Published: May 25, 2025


On June 23, 2025, Nikon will increase the prices on pretty much all F and Z mount lenses made in China. All other accessories like flashes, filters, cases, lens hoods, battery grips, memory cards, etc. will also get a price increase (see where Nikon products are manufactured). I am not aware of any Nikon camera getting a price increase since they are made in Thailand.

If you are planning to buy any Nikon gear before the price increase, consider doing so from one of our sponsors:

The current Nikon rebates can be found here.

Here is the complete list of lenses that will go up in price:
