Nikon’s “lens-only” rebates are coming back in March

By [NR] admin | Published: February 20, 2016

Nikon-lens-only-rebates
There is a very good chance that the popular Nikon “lens-only” rebates will be available in the US next month (March). The new rebates will most likely be applied on top of the lens price drop we already got few months ago. My guess is that after the D500 delay, Nikon decided that they will need some extra revenue at the end of their financial year (March 31st). The amount of the rebates will depend on how much they are hurting 🙂 Stay tuned for details.
