It's global. Price increases are due to the currency rates causing places like Japen problems when exporting abroad.

It's unfortunate.

Yen is gone very strong, which is why Nikon/Canon are hiking their prices in foreign currencies.

Yeah, I used onestop for a new lens recently too, was very pleased and it's worth trying their price match option if you do find a better price somewhere else

Currency exchange rates are the main cause of such.

I'm watching the prices regularly, before I make my next purchase.
Sterling has got a bit stronger against the Euro, which doesn't help.

I have just placed my order for a Nikon 70 - 200 f2.8 VR

I already have the TC17 II to go behind it.
Will pick it up when I go to Malta in June.
