A quick update on my previous post – the 10% discount on selected Nikon lenses is available in most (all?) European countries (not only in Germany):
Check your local Nikon website for the details.
Nikon USA will announce new rebates next week – expect them on September 4th since the current offers expire on September 3rd. Stay tuned!
The previously reported new and improved Meyer Optik Görlitz Biotar 75 f/1.5 II lens for Leica M and L mount is now officially released (the full press release can be found here). Pre-orders are now open at B&H Photo (Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses are also sold at Adorama):
Nikon started a new discount offer in Germany: 10% off on almost all Nikkor lenses (Nikon Z and F mount). This offer is valid from August 31 until September 18 (PayPal 0% financing applies).
Update: Nikon Germany made a mistake and the Nikon Nikkor Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens is nor on sale as previously reported.
