Is Nikon raising the prices on their lenses?
A store clerk told me that as of the new year Nikon will be raising their lens prices by around 10%. Has anyone heard anything about this? I'm suspicious that they may be trying to unload their inventory or something.

It's not that they are going to (although they may) but they did. Because the vast majority of lenses are made in Japan prices can change and often do based on the strength of the Japanese yen vs. the US dollar. The dollar has been low for quite a while now and the yen rebounded a bit last year resluting in a slight price hike.
I've heard nothing of it going up again however.

That price can also depends on the retailer. Nikon lenses hardly loose value so the older models probably won't go on sale as they get phase out. The price on the D3 still hasn't come down although the D3s has been out for a few months...
