The full force of Trump’s so-called ‘reciprocal’ tariffs has started to hit hard. Earlier this week, we reported that the price of a whole host of Nikon cameras and lenses shot up, followed not long after by Canon hiking prices on its camera gear.
Sony has also raised its prices recently, and Leica almost doubled the US price of the one of its cameras before going out of stock seemingly indefinitely, all as a direct result of the blanket tariffs levied on anything not made in the USA. The tariffs are even rumored as being responsible for the delayed Sony A7 V, though that could well be down to general mass production issues.
