The rumored Tamron 70-210mm f/4 Di VC USD full frame lens for DSLR cameras is now officially announced:
Update: several readers asked me about the new Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens – it is a mirrorless lens designed only for Sony E-mount.
On February 28th Tokina is rumored to announce a new Opera 50mm f/1.4 FF full frame DSLR lens that will be available also for Nikon F-mount. Here are the leaked specifications (Google translation):
The new Tamron 70-210mm f/4 Di VC USD full frame lens for DSLR cameras will be announced tomorrow. Here are the specifications:
The grey market Nikon D850 camera got its first price cut of $100 on eBay (final price: $3,199.99, current MSRP is $3,296.95).
Grey market Nikon gear does not come with US warranty (it only comes with store warranty).
Purchasing third party warranty (like Mack) is also an options.
Back in 2016 Nikon USA allowed repairing some Nikon grey market cameras at third party US repair facilities.
I asked every possible source I have and nobody has heard anything about the new rumored Nikon mirrorless camera. Of course, Nikon could have kept everything under a new level of unseen secrecy and still announce something next week.

Whatever it is, I do not see any of the regular signs before a major new product announcement. As the [NR] history has proven many times in the past: no rumors = no new product.
I somehow forgot to cover the new Lensbaby Burnside 35mm f/2.8 lens for Nikon F-mount that was announced last week. Here are the specs:
