A quick update on my post from yesterday: the US price of the Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens will be $799.
This is a pretty good deal, considering that the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 is $1,396.95, while the Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary is also priced at $799.

You can find a lot of additional Nikon D850 information, tips and photos on the biggest Nikon D850 Facebook page and Nikon D850 Facebook group (each with over 12k likes/members).
The Nikon D850 is the best selling camera in MapCamera (a retail store in Japan) for September:
Nikon already released their official press release for the PhotoPlus Expo 2017 expo – this means no new products will be announced for the show (as I already reported last week).
Here is the full press release:
In September Tamron announced a new 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens (model A035) for Nikon F-mount. The US pricing and availability is not yet available. The official release date is rumored to be October 26th. Stay tuned for details.
Here are some of the lens features and specifications:
The upcoming lens Sigma was teasing for the PhotoPlus show will be a new 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary that will most likely be announced on Wednesday. DC and DN indicate that this will be an APS-C mirrorless lens. I am not sure if this lens will be available for DSLR cameras.
Sigma recently introduced a new 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art lens ($1,599).
I have no information when Sigma will release their rumored new 70-200mm f/2.8 Art lens.

A reader contacted me to inform me that the older Nikon LPG-001 LCD chemical tempered glass protector is a perfect fit for the Nikon D850 camera and there are no issues when using the touchscreen.
The Nikon LPG-001 can be purchased at eBay for around $30-$40. There are also several third-party options listed for sale on Amazon.
