The new Nikon 800mm f/5.6 lens is listed on a Swiss online store with a price of CHF 9937 (around USD 10,200). The site has also some additional specs that were not made official yet:
| Lens design | 15 elements in 12 groups (including three ED glass lenses, one Nano Crystal Coat element and one meniscus protective glass) |
| Minimum focusing distance: | 600cm |
| Filter size: | 62mm |
| Focus: | AF |
| Dimensions: | 166 x 455mm |
| Weight: | 5060g (178 oz) |
| Delivery: | Lens Hood HK-29, wide belts lens, lens cap, rear lens cap, lens case metal-CF-606, 52 mm filter holder, gelatin filter holder |
If those specs are are correct, the new 800mm lens will have a size, weight and price similar the current 600mm f/4G ED VR.
Update: the store contacted and confirmed that they just “guessed” the price and specs of the lens – this rumor is busted.
