Trump has exempted some electronic devices from the new tariffs. But as far as I understand, this does NOT include cameras and lenses. If this is the case, you will soon see price increases for new cameras, lenses and accessories.For products produced in China we will see a 145% tariff rate while on the rest we have a 10% tariff in place. So if you live in the USA and need some gear I would buy it now!
