The Indonesian communications agency Postel has new registrations for seven new digital cameras and one Speedlight (SB-5000) that will be announced in early 2016.

Deal of the day: Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens for $90 *UPDATED*

By [NR] admin | Published: December 29, 2015

Nikon AF-S 50mm f:1.8G AF lens deal
Nikon-AF-S-50mm-f1.8G-lens-deal
The Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens is currently available for $90 on eBay. This is most likely a grey market item (no US warranty) but for that price, I think it’s a steal (regular price is $216.95).

Update: eBay removed the listing, it was most likely a scam. Sorry about that. You can see the latest Nikon deals here.
