Tariffs have had a negative impact on the camera industry. The prices of some cameras and lenses have seen a rise, with some models showing a far higher range than others. So far, Leica has announced a minimum 7% increase, while for Sony, it has been a minimum of 11%.
It now appears that Nikon will be the next company to join the fray, with some models seeing as much as a 45% price hike. Here's what you can expect. . thephoblographer.com

Tamron has made some exceptional lenses over the years. From prime lenses to a telephoto, Tamron offers a great range for photographers, where performance meets a good price point. The company recently started making new lenses for the Canon RF mount, and it appears this is just the beginning.
Tamron has made a name for itself by releasing a series of unique and nontraditional zoom lenses like the 28-75mm, 17-28mm, 70-180mm, and the renewed classic (for mirrorless) 70-300mm f/4.
When the Z mirrorless system was first announced, Nikon swore to deliver lenses with far superior image quality and optical characteristics when compared to the DSLR F-mount siblings, and it all started with the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.
There has been a lot of chatter and excitement surrounding the Nikon Z 28mm f/2. 8 lens when it was announced as a special pairing (along with a special version) with the Z fc camera.
Nikon is doing its best to keep its promise of a rapidly expanding Z-mount lens family and has announced three small FX and DX-format lenses: the Nikkor Z DC 16-50mm f/3. 5-6. 3 VR, Nikkor Z 28mm f/2.
