UPDATE – Price back to Normal :: Viltrox Increases Prices on X Mount Lenses – B&H Photo Still Selling at Cheaper Price (but for How Long?)

UPDATE: Price is back to normal for most people. Some countries (like me in Italy) still see the higher price)

UPDATE 2: Reply from Viltrox:

We do not change the price of 75mmXF lens at Viltrox Official store—US$549,
but MSRP varies by regions like all of Viltrox other products as below for your reference:

Euro Countries: €599.00
GBP Countries：£533.00
USD or other currency countries:US$549 533
CAD: C$729.00
JPY: ¥70,600

ADMIN NOTE: even from Italy I always saw the lower price. Now suddenly this changed, and in Italy I see the new higher price. But US residents still see the old price. Also strange that I see the old price for their 85mm (hence I see the same price in Italy as it is in USA). But the other lenses have a different price.

Original Article

When checking the Viltrox store today, a FR-reader noticed that Viltrox started to increase the prices on their X mount lenses.

I don’t know what is happening and dropped an email to Viltrox to ask for clarification. As soon as I get a reply I will update this article.

But for now my best recommendation is that if you wanted to grab any of the lenses, better do it now at BHphoto. We don’t know if soon also BH & Co will have to raise the price on Viltrox X mount lenses, or if maybe Viltrox will revert back to the original pricing.

Here is a breakdown of the prices at Viltrox compared to BHphoto at the time of this post.
