sjms - good point re worsening exchange rates. I remember that the now-discontinued Systematic models were selling for approximately the same prices they were a year ago, so like what we\'ve seen with Nikon and others, Gitzo didn\'t raise the prices until they changed models. Really I fully expected a price increase, but was more expecting the $100 range instead of the $200 I see on most of them, though as others have posted the prices may drop a bit after they\'ve been out a while.
I too remember the ~250yen/dollar exchange rates, back in the mid 1980\'s I guess that was. Makes me feel old, hehe.
you don\'t raise the price on something your trying to sell off. and that is the SOP of Gitzo.
