By [NR] admin | Published: June 13, 2026

In the almost 20 years of NikonRumors, I don’t think I have ever covered the Nikon USA extended care plans. Nikon offers two different plans in the US: Nikon Care and Nikon Care+.

B&H Photo has more detailed listings on the different plans and pricing:

Nikon 3-year extended warranty for mirrorless & DSLR cameras ($4,501-$5,000)
Nikon 2-year extended warranty for Nikon kits ($9,001-$10,000)
Nikon 2-year extended warranty for Nikkor F/Z mount lenses ($501-$750)

The plans are also available at Paul’s Photo, Service Photo, and other authorized Nikon dealers. Here are the details:

The latest discontinued Nikon cameras and lenses

By [NR] admin | Published: June 11, 2026

A quick update on the latest discontinued Nikon cameras and lenses (thanks ZoetMB):

The first two Nikon Z-mount lenses to be discontinued:

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70 f/2.8 VR S lens (V1) is now officially discontinued (B&H still has inventory).
Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens (V1) is now officially discontinued (B&H still has inventory).

The next one is strange:

The original Nikon FTZ II mount adapter (item #4264) is discontinued, and a new model (item #4306) is now available for sale. The price is the same. I have no idea what changed.

More discontinued Nikon cameras and lenses:

Nikon Coolpix P950 camera is already listed as discontinued at some Japanese retailers (still in stock at B&H Photo).
Nikon Nikkor AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR lens.
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G lens.
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens (discontinued in Japan, out of stock at B&H Photo).
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens (out of stock at B&H Photo).

Some old F-mount lenses that were previously considered discontinued (and have been out of stock for a long time) suddenly showed up in stock at B&H Photo:
