Nikon to announce a new Nikkor AF-S 180-400mm f/4 ED TC VR lens soon


Several months ago I reported that Nikon will announce a new Nikkor 200-400mm f/4 lens with a built-in teleconverter. A few months later I clarified that the new lens could actually be 180-400mm.

I can now confirm that Nikon will soon announce a new Nikkor AF-S 180-400mm f/4 ED TC VR pro-level tele-zoom lens with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter (similar to the latest Canon version). The new version will have a very sophisticated optical formula around 30 elements. Expect a very high price tag (the current Nikkor 200-400mm model is priced at $6,996.95, while the new Canon lens with TC is priced at 10,999).

Photos taken by Nikon Ambassador Ami Vitale tagged with #nikond5s on Instagram


Several photos taken in Africa by Nikon Ambassador Ami Vitale were tagged with #nikond5s on Instagram. Of course this could be a typo, but it could also be the promo campaign for the Nikon D5s camera:

Update – here is the email I received from Ami Vitale:

“I saw your article about the rumored Nikon D5S. I’m very sorry for the confusion. The images were taken with a D5. That was a typo on my Instagram captions. Thank you for catching it! I’m correcting now.”
