Nikkor DX line:
- 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5: $809 to $897
- 12-24mm f/4: $1,099 to $1,222
- 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6: $620 to $697
- 17-55mm f/2.8: $1,399 to $1,537
- 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye: $689 to $772
Nikkor PC-E (tilt-shift) models:
- 24mm f/3.5: $1,999 to $2197

I think it should be the Nikon lens discount ended and the prices went back to the original MSRP. But we have to face the fact now we have to pay more to buy a new Nikkor lens with US warranty.
