Weekly Nikon news flash #331



→ New Nikon D810A review.



Sigma released a firmware update for their 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports lens for Nikon F mount (currently in stock) that improves focusing performance when using continuous servo (AF-C) mode.



→ Pictures of the amalgamated Nikon Hong Kong main service location.



→ Nikon D610 built tough: a reader dropped his D610 with 105mm Micro lens attached onto a concrete floor from 5 feet. It landed on the eyelet for the camera strap, dented the body and smashed the Control Panel. Both the camera and the lens otherwise undamaged and work just fine.







→ With talk of a new Sony-Nikon adapter being released soon by Commlite; here’s an adaptor from the early 90s that not many know about. The Sony MCL-200N allowed fitting of Nikkor lenses to the Sony MVC-5000 & 7000 video-stills-electronic SLR cameras.



→ Nikon Behind the Scenes: animal portraits with Ron Magill.

→ Interesting: this new Nikon corporate commercial for CNN doesn’t even mention photography.
