Rumors: 5% to 20% UK price increase on most lenses in early 2016

By [NR] admin | Published: November 21, 2015

Nikon-D4-D800-price-increase
In addition to the upcoming D4s and D810 UK price increase, the price of most lenses is rumored to go up by 5%-20% in early 2016. For now the info I received is only for the UK, I am not sure if the same will happen to other European countries.

If you need a new Nikkor, it is a good idea to order it before the end of the year. Check out the latest Nikon prices at Wex Photographic, Jessops, Calumet and Amazon UK.

If something else shows up next week, I will be posting it in the new dedicated deals page at nikonrumors.com/deals (available in the top navigation menu).

Nikon D5 Wireless Transmitter WT-6 and Speedlight SB-5000 development announced
Nikon just officially announced the development of the following new products:

With the exception of the WT-6, all this should not be a surprise to regular [NR] readers. With this “development announcement” Nikon is telling us that they are still alive and relevant. I just hope they have planned more than that for 2016. This announcement also kills any hopes for a D400 camera, at least for the first few months of 2016 (otherwise they would have mentioned it today).
