Nikon Fabre Photo EX microscope may not be available in the US

By [NR] admin | Published: March 25, 2009

The Nikon Fabre Photo EX microscope (with DSLR compatibility) was announced over a month ago in Japan and there is still no word from Nikon US/Europe.

The last time Nikon removed the D80 microsite, the D90 was announced few days later (of course “past performance is not guarantee to future returns”).
