First Nikon D850 price drop: grey market version now $100 off

By [NR] admin | Published: February 20, 2018


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.

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.

By [NR] admin | Published: February 18, 2018


Tamron will soon announce a new 70-210mm f/4 Di VC USD full frame lens for DSLR cameras. I am not convinced that the Tamron teaser from a few days ago was for this lens.

Update: the new Tamron 70-210mm f/4 Di VC USD lens will be announced on February 22nd:
