Something Nikon related coming in the next few hours? *UPDATED*

By [NR] admin | Published: October 25, 2017


Update #1: I just was able to clarify with my source – the tip I received was for the Sony a7r III mirrorless camera that will be announced shortly (2:30 am EST). The camera will be a direct competitor with the D850.

Update #2: Sony a7r III mirrorless camera officially announced (42MP)

Something happened earlier today – I am not sure if it was a joke or it relates to an announcement from another company (maybe the Tamron 100-400 lens?), but we may get something Nikon related (a surprise?) in the next 1-2 hours. I don’t know if it will be a new Nikon product or something from a third party company that can be used with a Nikon camera. I already reported that I don’t expect any major Nikon announcements for the CP+ show, especially since Nikon already got their PhotoPlus press release out. I will stay online for the next 1-2 hours just to make sure we don’t miss anything.

US price of the Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens: $799

By [NR] admin | Published: October 24, 2017


A quick update on my post from yesterday: the US price of the Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens will be $799.

This is a pretty good deal, considering that the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 is $1,396.95, while the Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary is also priced at $799.
