I'm not too concerned. I found Stalwart brand optics that may cover my needs.

$8.41! 4x power! It's even got a built in ringlight!
I still have to check if their factory is in the U. S.

In RF mount?

I wonder if you could glue it on a step up ring and then screw it in a lens like a filter? Image quality is probably awful, though.

the benefit of poor image quality is you won't notice if the glue drips on the lens!

Sooner or later, they will adapt their prices like most Japanese companies. I'm still hoping only for the US market...

I think that Canon did increase the prices already: https://www.canonrumors.com/price-increases-coming-from-canon-usa/

Is Canon expected to do the same?

Canon has published a Q&A paper with it’s Q1 2025 results about the impact of tariffs on pricing.

Thank you!

Ain't tariffs the most beautiful word?

I'm sorry, but I think they are crafted with pride in China.

Yeah, but even a 50% tariff makes it almost cheap enough to put it under the FeEx truck's wheel as it's delivered!

Don't worry, I've already sacrificed goats and read their entrails to increase our chances from zero percent to one whole percent!
