After the rush of the tide, it seems that Japan is enjoying some stabilized prices for the 645D and accessories. For example at Amazon Japan the body costs $9.236 and the 55mm lens $1.089, with the currency rate of today. Most probably by mid-2011 the street price in the States inclusive the lens would be not higher than $10K.
