As of today, all Sony devices manufactured in China have seen a significant price increase of up to +33.3%. The new Sony 400-800mm G lens now costs $3298 (+$400). The very popular 70-200mm GII has seen a price increase of $300.
Sony also manufactures its lenses in Japan and Thailand. I suspect that Sony is now working to move production to these countries to reduce the tariff from 30% to 10%. Of course, there is also the possibility that the negotiations will change the tariff rate, so these price increases could be temporary, or in the worst case scenario….increase further.
I can’t wait to read the extremely rational and civilized discussion in the comments section. Joking aside, please don’t get political and just discuss the fact of these price increases and whether you as a US customer think they will stop you from buying certain devices. Thanks!
