Canon and Nikon cameras, lenses, are set to rise in Australia tomorrow. This is in no small part due to the closure of their respective production facilities in Japan. Nikon’s factory is in Sendai, within 50kms of the Fukushima plant. With the plants closed, we may see it becoming difficult to get stock in the months ahead.
For my part, I have had a Canon 5D2 in for repair for the past 4 weeks, and was last week quoted that it could take up to 4 weeks for the parts to come from Japan. I am wondering whether it could take even longer…!
