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.
