Is it cheaper to buy Nikon lenses in Japan than in China?

In Japan, labor is mainly expensive, so although the ex-factory price of lenses and cameras is very cheap, after wholesale and retail, the price will double, which is still relatively expensive.

For example, Nikon's 24-70/2.8G is currently more than 6.5438+0.7 million yen in Japan. Excluding tax refund and preferential treatment, it needs 6.5438+0.6 million yen, equivalent to RMB10.3 million. This shot is currently less than 13 thousand in Zhongguancun, Beijing.

More than 80% of my Nikon lenses are bought from Japan, not because they are cheap, but because I feel that the quality is guaranteed and my heart is practical. It's not like buying it in Zhongguancun. I don't know who used the rest

Of course, if you don't come and go to Japan often, you'd better find a larger photographic equipment store in China to buy it. After all, it's inconvenient to find a store if something goes wrong.
