Also coming soon: new Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens

In addition to the ultra wide angle lens, Nikon is going to announce also a new Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR full frame lens.

Please note that Nikon already announced a new Nikon AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED (VR) DX lens for APS-C cameras last year. The new lens I mentioned in this post will be full frame and will replace the current AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR version.

According to Nikon “AF-P lenses that achieve fast and quiet AF with adoption of a stepping motor for AF drive operation” which makes them a good choice for video recording.

So far, those are two of the rumored five Nikkor lenses that are rumored to be announced this year.
