Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED lens listed as “discontinued by manufacturer” *UPDATED*

The lens is listed as discontinued also on the official Nikon UK online store

Amazon UK currently lists the Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED lens as “discontinued by manufacturer“. The lens is also nowhere to be found in stock in the US (B&H, Amazon, Adorama). The 200mm Micro lens replacement has been rumored for a long time and maybe Nikon will finally announce it at Photokina (no reliable information as of today).

The 200mm Micro lens is also listed as discontinued on other Nikon EU stores.
