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

By [NR] admin | Published: April 4, 2017

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.

Update: the Nikon D7200 replacement could be called D7500

By [NR] admin | Published: March 31, 2017


A quick update: so far I have reported the replacement of the Nikon D7200 camera as the D7300 assuming that Nikon will follow their existing D7xxx naming convention. Well, they will not – the D7200 replacement will most likely be called Nikon D7500 – probably to go with the D500 since both models will have the same sensor. I stopped trying to make sense of Nikon naming convention a long time ago.

I changed the name of the new Facebook page to Nikon D7500.
