A reliable source just confirmed to me that Canon will soon increase prices in the US as a result of the new tariffs introduced by President Trump last week.

If you are planning to get some new gear, now would be a good time since the price increase could come as early as next week. B&H and Adorama are currently closed for the next 10 days, but you can check our sponsors Amazon, Paul's Photo, and Service Photo.

Blackmagic already increased its prices in the US a few days ago.

There will be more price increases to come.

How will the new Trump tariffs impact the camera and lens imports to the US?

The full details of the upcoming Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB lens with a color LCD screen for Sony E and Nikon Z mount leaked online:

The Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2 LAB pursues ultra-high resolution that surpasses even flagship models, ushering in a new era of revolutionary leaps in image quality. It adopts an optical design that does not compromise on details to support high-pixel shooting. With unprecedented high-definition depiction power, it will satisfy the needs of all those who seek higher resolution.

What is the LAB series?

The LAB series is the highest-end line of the Viltrox brand, characterized by high image quality and high standards. Compared to other products on the market, the lens specifications of the LAB series are at a higher level than those of the PRO series. With the introduction of the Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2, the Viltrox LAB series is attracting attention as a lens that further expands the creative possibilities of professional photographers and video creators.

Features

  • The lens is made up of 15 elements in 10 groups, including five ED lenses, three high refractive index lenses, and two aspherical lenses, ensuring clarity from the center to the edges of the entire focal range and enabling the depiction of fine textures even at maximum aperture, allowing users to retain image quality down to the fine details even in cropped images, expanding the scope of their photography .
  • Equipped with Viltrox's proprietary Hyper VCM motor, it provides 150% faster focus speed and more precise aperture accuracy compared to conventional STM motors, allowing you to capture the perfect photographic opportunity.
  • The large aperture F1.2 and 11-blade diaphragm produce a softer, more beautiful circular bokeh, providing excellent quality even in low-light situations.
  • With a minimum focusing distance of 0.34m and a maximum magnification of 0.17x, it provides clear, excellent images from infinity to close-ups.
  • The side of the lens is equipped with three switching levers, two custom Fn buttons, two rings, and a display, allowing users to make fine adjustments to suit their shooting style.
  • The lens body, including the front lens element, is dust-proof and weather-resistant, allowing it to be used in a wide range of shooting environments.
  • By connecting to the app via Bluetooth, you can also configure the Fn button and the image and text to be displayed on the lens display when the camera starts up.
