Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens listed as discontinued at Nikon UK store

By [NR] admin | Published: March 12, 2018


I am not sure if this is a mistake, but the Nikon UK store lists the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens as discontinued (this listing has been online at least for a few weeks):


The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens was announced in March 2013 and it’s currently in stock in the US. In the UK WEX is “awaiting stock” while Amazon and Jessops have the lens in stock.

Update – in addition to the Nikon UK store, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens is also listed as discontinued at the Nikon Denmark store:
