Lello,
I have been looking at dealer prices on the back of a rumour that another price increase is on the way. Some prices are near double Nikons 15% on lenses since 1st Feb. Either dealers are looking at greater margins, or prices on some stuff reflects what is just round the corner ( ie items are on back order and the dealer knows the new price ).
I will be unpopular in this, but as we got away with it fairly lightly in the Feb 1st increase compared the USA ( similar percent increase as the UK despite the UK£ falling further against the JapanY than US$ ). So I believe the rumour to be true, and fully expect the next price rise on the 2nd March.
Either way new and second hand prices are on the up.
Don
