Tamron Laens Price Increase
Mar 9, 2012 10:29:37 #
Hi all. I recently bought a Tamron 90mm macro. At the end of January it was $459.95 and now it's $499.00 at B&H. Has anybody else noticed this trend?

Is it possible Tamron recently updated that lens? I don't know about Tamron, but when Nikon does an update, they are usually a bit higher.

No, it's the same lens. It seems that many of their lenses have had a price adjustment.

just checked $30.00 higher --I just bought the Tamron 10-24m at the end of Dec. --Had to exchange it which went into Jan. 2012. Of course it was the same price of 469.00. $419.00 with rebate. Now the same lens is $499.00. B&H purchase.

It's called inflation. When your government prints more money than can be justified by the actual value of things, the value of the dollar goes down. when dollars are worth less, it takes more of them to buy a given item.
