“In few days”

By [NR] admin | Published: February 1, 2010

After spending almost an hour trying to translate the few cryptic sentences I received, the final word on the lenses release date is “in few days”.

Busted!

By [NR] admin | Published: January 24, 2010

The Nikon D700x sensor and Nikkor AF-S 18-50 f/3.5-4.5G lens rumors got busted.
