Finally something is happening.
NIKKOR AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens to be released on March 14? | Nikon Rumors
NIKKOR AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens to be released on March 14? | Nikon Rumors
I wonder if they'll announce a VR version of the 24-70 2.8. Nothing needs an upgrade more than the 80-400 but a VR version of the 24-70 wouldn't be a big surprise either.
Or use it at 36mp and then crop, this gives a lot more usable pixels400 mm or. even 560 mm (1.4 x). This means 800 or. 1120 mm on Nikon D800 if we use crop 9 MP!? Hm
Looks like the price is $2,696: Amazon.com: Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLRs: Camera & Photo
This answers my dilemma regarding getting it before March 15th - This item will be released on March 19, 2013.
I like my current 80 - 400 so I am guessing I would love this oneIt sounds like this lens has your name all over it.
Or better yet, get the Sigma 120-300 2.8. The current version is $2800 and the new version to be released this month is $3600. I hear nothing but good things about this lens.Hm… AF-S NIKKOR 80–400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR: 2600 EUR.
Sigma 300 mm 2.8: 2450 EUR.
f/2.8 vs VR?
I will look at it when I get back, you never know someone might steal my old one and I can get a new one with insurance LOLGot one on pre-order. Can't wait to get it.
