Didn't I read somewhere that this was a part of the Summarits' introduction plan?

That is, we get a range of reasonably priced, easier-to-produce, available lenses; and in exchange, the high-speed lenses whose production requires higher technology costs will see their prices raised.

In other words, IIRC, in addition to currency fluctuations, this is in part a marketing decision.
