If we have to pay 25% tariffs, will the seller be kind with the selling price?

I think this is consider as third party private sale, like eBay or here.

a good question Raid, but why would the seller take a hit for USA foreign trade policy...

Called trade policy. Deeper issues than can be explained in a blog

I've never figured out how to set the lens code on my film Leicas.

Did you try the film speed reminder?

I set the lens type to same focal length for similar time period lens on digital Leica.

I believe that some exporters to the USA absorb some of the increases in prices to keep their items affordable.

He is already kind with the selling price, I think much of the market would bear a higher price.

So if the 25% tariff is applied, the total cost (at least to the US) will be $625 + shipping. Not that it's necessarily a problem, but since we're here discussing it, we should probably fold that information into our decision making process.

This is what I meant to say.
Applies also to the planned 50/1.2 which will be sold at a much higher price than $1000, we have been informed by Kevin. If it will cost $2000, say, then the added tariffs will make the price $2500.

I'm not sure why we are discussing tariffs. It has nothing to do with the creator of this lens.
Suddenly he has to give you a 25% discount?

 

[raid]

I never asked for any 25% discount. The $499 price is very reasonable.

Someone please point me to the news release about the 25% tariff from China.

 

[raid]

I asked a question and this is all. Maybe there are no tariffs applied here. That would be excellent.

Just sayin. The price is crazy reasonable as is.

I was thinking of the 50/1.2. It’s price is still not known other than being much higher than $1000.

Read my previous comment. No one is even suggesting a discount of any percentage, much less 25%. Yes, it's a reasonable price for some, however it's just something to consider when making the decision to purchase and I had asked if anyone knowledgeable could chime in a propos.

I have placed my order for one 35/2.
This is exciting.
