My "Insurance Policy" Against Chinese Import Tariffs On Photo Stuff...

.


Being a bit of a prepper, I've already developed my own little "Insurance Policy" against this possible inflationary impact on the price of photography equipment. I've been stockpiling camera accessories for some time now. I've got: lots of extra accessories (see below photos of lens caps and step-up/step-down rings.

Go ahead and laugh, but when a 49mm front lens cap triples in price next year, just remember, you heard it here first!

OMG! You are obviously the ringleader for cornering the lens cap market.

Pentax stuff is generally made in Vietnam, Philippines and Japan. Taiwan has been known to make a few things as well.
