Please update your NikonRumors RSS feed and new email subscription option

By [NR] admin | Published: November 16, 2022

RSS Feed

When Google killed the email subscription service (called Feedburner), they also broke the blog’s RSS feed. If you are using RSS to get NikonRumors updates, please make sure you use the correct feed:

https://nikonrumors.com/feed/

The old feed that had Feedburner in the link is no longer working. If you don’t use an RSS reader, I can highly recommend it – check Google for additional information.

You can also follow the latest NR blog posts on Facebook and Twitter (NR also has Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, and Pinterest accounts but there is not much going on there).

Email Subscription

Many readers were still interested to get email notifications for the latest blog posts. Since the previous Google service is no longer available, you can subscribe for email notifications on FeedRabbit for free (you will need to enter the NikonRumors RSS feed: https://nikonrumors.com/feed/).

Thank you for being a reader! Next year we will be celebrating 15 of NikonRumors – around the same when the Nikon Z8 is expected to be released (the first, very cryptic NR blog post was published on May 1st, 2008).

Sigma Netherlands claims that “a number” of mirrorless lenses for Nikon Z-mount will “probably” be released in 2023

By [NR] admin | Published: November 14, 2022


Rumors about Sigma starting to produce mirrorless lenses for Nikon Z- mount have been floating around for a while. Even Sigma’s CEO kind of confirmed the rumors in an interview last year.

A few days ago a reader sent me an email from Sigma Netherlands where the company’s representative confirmed that “a number” of Sigma mirrorless lenses for Nikon Z-mount will “probably” be released next year (2023):


The translation of the email is something like this:

“Good afternoon,

Sigma will probably release a number of Z-mount lenses next year. It is not yet clear to us which lenses exactly.

Sincerely,
Sigma Benelux BV”

Another exclusive Amazon deal: Nikon Z 6II for 1,749

By [NR] admin | Published: November 14, 2022


In the past few months, we have seen several exclusive Nikon deals on Amazon, and today we have another one:  the Nikon Z 6II camera is listed for 1,749 (both sold and shipped by Amazon). This is basically $150 off the regular MSRP of $1,896 at Adorama and B&H Photo:

This is the lowest Nikon Z6 II price so far. Amazon usually removes these exclusive deals after a few hours.
