Note that I said “released” in the title – Nikon may still show their EVIL solution at Photokina, but I do not expect it to be available in stores any time soon. They may also come out with another press release (like they did at PMA), but there will be no other products released as far as I know. There could be another announcement by the end of the year, but it is too yearly to make any speculations yet.
Nikon Q
Now, the reason why I was holding up from publishing this post are the two pictures I received anonymously – no explanation, not details, just “Nikon Q”:
Nikon did produce Q lenses back in the 50’s (see some Q lenses on eBay) but I doubt those pictures were taken 60 years ago.
The second picture appears to display a camera with the letter “Q” on the front – is “Q” going to be the new Nikon mount? For their EVIL system maybe? I already reported that Nikon started labeling their lens caps with “F” which could be an indication that another mount may be coming soon.
Again, those two pictures could be fake or maybe referring to a different Nikon product. I do not know. I hope that by posting this online, we will get some more information on what “Nikon Q” really is.
Let the speculations begin.
