A reader sent me the above picture of what appears to be a brochure for a new Tamron SP 135mm f/1.8 VC lens. If true, the official announcement will most likely be in September for Photokina.
Tamron recently announced four new Di lenses with VC designed for DSLR cameras.
Update: my sources confirmed that this Tamron SP 135mm f/1.8 VC Di lens brochure is fake.
Nikon recently filed a patent for a 9mm f/1.8 lens designed for cameras with 1″ sensor (Nikon 1, DL):
Here is the full list of recent lens patents designed for 1″ sensor filed by Nikon in the past few months:
There is also a new patent for a 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art lens:
The new AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lenses (announced in early January, 2016) are compatible only with three Nikon DSLR cameras: D3300, D5300 and D5500. The lenses will not autofocus on older DX models like the D3100 or D7000. It is not clear for now if Nikon will issue firmware update for older cameras – just recently they released a firmware update to make the lenses compatible with the D3300. This probably also explains why the new AF-P lenses are not listed on Nikon USA website and are not yet available for pre-order. Both lenses are already available on Amazon UK.
→ The Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens for Nikon F is now in stock.
→ New price drop: refurbished Nikon D7200 camera is now $769.95. More US deals are available here. There are finally new Nikon rebates also in Norway.
→ Two new interviews with Nikon executes were published at Imaging-resource and Dpreview. As usual I did not find anything interesting worth reporting here.
→ A reader made a full list of dust and waterproof Nikon lenses (with rubber sealing mount, Google translation available here). He checked the user manuals for those lenses to confirm which of them have a rubber gasket.
