Nikon price increase coming to Europe

By [NR] admin | Published: December 6, 2016

nikon-price-increase-europe-2017
I have received tips from at least two different European countries that a new price increase on Nikon equipment will be introduced on January 1st, 2017. I assume that this price increase will include most, if not all European countries. In some cases, the price increase can go up to 15% (you can check the current prices of Nikon gear on Amazon.de & Amazon.fr).

Last week I reported that Sigma will also have a price increase in Europe next year.
