NikonRumors Forum now online

As promised before, I created a NikonRumors Forum (https://nikonrumors.com/forum/). This will give you the option to start your own topic, discuss further posts from the blog or whatever. I already have few sample headlines based on discussions from the blog – feel free to add your own. For now I am using a very simplistic platform/design, but if we get enough interested readers I will move to something more serious. You can add a picture/logo to your profile by registering your email with Gravatar (this is valid for the NR blog and NR forum and many other site that use Gravatar).

Nikon Fabre Photo EX microscope may not be available in the US

The Nikon Fabre Photo EX microscope (with DSLR compatibility) was announced over a month ago in Japan and there is still no word from Nikon US/Europe. I contacted Nikon US and it seems that this product will be available only in Japan. I also email Nikon support, but have not received an answer yet.

On another note, did you notice the new addition on NikonRumors? It has been online for few days already… I have not officially announced it yet, but if you are following NR on Twitter or Facebook you already know the secret.
