25% Tariffs on Japanese Goods Starting August 1 – Fujifilm Prices at Risk?

Share

The U.S. administration has announced that, starting August 1st, tariffs on products made in Japan will increase from 10% to 25% (and even higher if Japan retaliates with its own tariffs).

As you may know, Fujifilm has worked hard to keep prices stable, going so far as to move the production of several camera lines from China to Japan to avoid even higher tariffs.

That strategy has helped so far. But with the new 25% tariffs taking effect in August, it may become increasingly difficult for Fujifilm to avoid raising prices. I genuinely hope they’ll find a way, but the situation is looking more challenging than ever.

Of course, the decision is yours. But if I lived in the U.S. and was planning to buy Fujifilm gear, I’d seriously consider doing it in the near future to avoid potential price increases.

How soon could we see a price increase?

Personally, I don’t think it will happen immediately on August 1st, as some are predicting. I believe Fujifilm will do everything they can to delay it—likely by stocking up U.S. warehouses with as much gear as possible before the tariffs kick in. But once that inventory runs low and new shipments subject to the higher tariffs start arriving, that’s when a price hike becomes much more likely.

Fujinon XF 16-200 vs XF 18-135 Size Comparison and Thoughts

Share

We recently took a look at the 8 remaining lenses Fujifilm has “under consideration” for future release.

And since I love this lens here, I picked as my favorite future lens the Fujinon XF16-200mm superzoom.

Now, I know it would make me look more “Pro” if I’d advocate for red-badge fast lenses.

But hey, if Melinda Sue Gordon shoots the official backstage images of the Dunkirk blockbuster with the XF18-135mm lens – we reported here – then I guess the lens is plenty of good enough also for my much more humble needs.

With that said, I decided to take a closer look at the potential XF16-200mm, based on specs given to us by Fujifilm (and turned into the above silhouette by FR-reader Hiergeist), to see if the XF16-200mm could really be a potential replacement for the XF18-135mm.

  • Fujinon XF 16-200mm
    – length 120-140mm
    – diameter 70-80
    – weight 600-800g
  • Fujinon XF 18-135mm
    – length 97.8mm at minium extension and 156mm at maximum extension
    – diameter 75.7
    – weight 490g

We can see: especially on the shorter side of the range given to us by Fujifilm, the XF16-200 would be quite close in size to the current XF18-135mm (just about 22mm longer and 110g heavier).

If Fujifilm would launch the Fujinon XF16-200mm, then I would surely buy it to replace the XF18-135mm.

In fact, after I bought the XF18-135mm I sold both my XF18-55mm and XF55-200mm. But having again the option to go all the way at 200mm and also to go wider at 16mm would be very welcome, especially if the overall size and weight increase are contained as suggested by the specs shared by Fujifilm.

So, I stand by my wish: if I have to pick one, I would like the Fujinon XF 16-200mm.

But again, feel free to drop your wish and vote here.

Fujifilm X-T6 with Back-Illuminated Dials :: Dreams of Fujifilm X-T5S :: How to Re-Do the GFX :: and More :: FR-Reader Wishlist Corner

Share

Time to catch up and share a FR-reader wishlist corner post.

by Chris

Once upon a time (2010?), Fujifilm launched the second version of a 3D camera, the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W3.

Stereo enthusiasts still regard this as a high point but of course its specifications (especially the sensors) are now very dated.

Do you think there is ANY CHANCE Fujifilm might produce a new version, almost certainly with enhanced video capabilities for viewing on 3D display laptops, AR/MR/VR headsets and more traditional ways?

There have been “Mickey Mouse” 3D cameras launched recently, but they are more toys than proper cameras, see e.g. XREAL Beam Pro.
