Several readers informed me that they have received shipping notifications from B&H for their pre-ordered Nikkor AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens that was announced on March 4th. The new lens is shipping few days before the official release date of March 19th which is part of Nikon’s effort to push inventory before the end of their financial year that ends on March 31th, 2013.
If you are in New York state, you will be getting your lens tomorrow.
