Nikon 1 32mm f/1.2 lens patent
A new Nikon patent (201298706) filed in Japan indicates the possibility to produce Nikon 1 mirrorless lens with f/0.7 aperture. Nikon was able to achieve f/0.7 by optimizing the aperture diameter, the flange back length and image circle. One of the given examples in this patent was for a 32mm f/1.2 lens.
Can you spot the problem?
Nikon released new firmware updates for their D4 and D800 full frame DSLR cameras. The major fix for the D800 is the lockup issue, other minor issues were also resolved:
Nikon D800 firmware update B1.01:
Nikon D800E firmware update B1.01: (same list of fixes as the D800).
I have an update to the previously reported Nikon D600 specifications (new/updated specs are on top, marked in bold).
I also have two corrections to make – the D600 will have a built-in AF motor and it will not have built-in GPS.
There are also rumors that Nikon has invited some European resellers for a meeting in Casablanca on 28 May, 2012. I am not sure if this is related to the D600.
