It seems that nobody noticed those two new F-mount lenses from Voigtländer that were announced during the CP+ show in Japan last week: Voigtländer Color Skopar 28/2.8 SL II N and Voigtländer Heliar Classic 75/1.8 SL II N (images via DCWatch):

 

Voigtländer thinks that it is not important to list their new products on their website, so the only details on those two new lenses can be found at DCWatch.

Voigtländer also offers the following F mount lenses:

Nikon SB-910 Vs. Nikon SB-900: Speedlight Overheat Test by Cary Jordan (Web | Flickr | Personal FB page |The Jordan Collective’s FB Page | Twitter)

When the Nikon SB-910 Speedlight was announced, it brought-forth the promise of fixing the Nikon SB-900’s one serious flaw: Overheating issues.

By [NR] admin | Published: February 14, 2012

Amazon sent out an email to everyone who has a Nikon D800/E pre-order with an estimated arrival dates of January 2013. This is obviously an error in their system, probably caused by the large number of pre-orders in a short period of time. I expect the Nikon D800 to start shipping in the second half of March and the D800E in the first half of April 2012.

Update: B&H lists the D800 shipment date as March 22nd, 2012:

Weekly Nikon news flash #149

By [NR] admin | Published: February 12, 2012

“The G1 X, at that price point, is a super kind of niche market, just for Canon fanboys if I’m completely honest. It’s not something that I anticipated from them.”
