Is "Tarring and feathering" also some kind of decorative technique for applying a coating? Like gilding?

The USA was a hub for word wide logistics in camera gear across at least a generation.

This is subject to be changed in these days pushed by stunning tariffs of the day from 10 to 145%

So yes, it is liberation day around the world, just not the NYC based wholesale.

Canon will release their quarterly financial results on April 24. It will be interesting to see what they say about tariffs.

Trump just gave everyone another excuse to raise prices. I guess the \"supply chain issues\" or \"inflation\" excuse was getting old

You made me think of a first rate candidate for some tar and feathers...

Even though I was the first to bring it up, I think, it is a terrible idea, to reintroduce this type of punishment - in any country of the world.
Like other terrible things that were reintroduced lately...

Canon USA currently has 'instant savings' on several lenses and bodies (among others, $200 off multiple L lenses, $300 off the R5II, $1K off the R3). Those are slated to expire on 20-April.

Although Canon prices are of prime concern to many here, on zooming out they are not in the field of view of the problems in the world to focus on.

If China restricts export of rare earth elements and certain magnetic materials, we will have other and more serious problems.

Will those who preordered be affected by this increase? I'm assuming yes because B&H does not charge buyers until the order is shipped.

That's something they'll keep as the last ace up their sleeve.
But I really wonder why Mr. T. seems to like to exaggerate his own hand.

B&H Photo and Adorama are closed until April 21

Why are they closed?

"China has suspended exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets, threatening to choke off supplies of components central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world." -NYTimes

Perhaps you remember some of his "strange" Moves? Peace-Deal with Ukraine, declaring Canada as State Nb. 51, great interest in Greenland. Everything had to do with rare elements. The second biggest deposit of rare elements after the deposit in the "Bayan Obo Mining District" in inner Mongolia is Kvanefjeld in Greenland and the mayor shareholder of the company who owns the rights to explore it is a chinese company.

Unless they sell more of them in Europe...
