Happy Holidays from [NR] (you should really try the new Nikon D850 time-lapse feature)

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

Happy Holidays to all readers! Best wishes from the [NR] team of one 🙂

On a side note, if you own the Nikon D850, you should really try the new time-lapse feature. Nikon made it very easy to create 4k time-lapses without any additional post-processing – so simple that even I could do it (see above).

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

By [NR] admin | Published: December 21, 2017


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).
