Nikon filed more patents for telephoto lenses with fluorite element – the list of future FL lenses now matches exactly the rumor I reported few months ago with the exception of the 200-400mm f/4 lens.
Here are the upcoming Nikkor FL lenses described in the latest Nikon patent filed recently in Japan:
→ Rokinon announced new 12mm T3.1 ED AS IF NCS UMC Cine DS fisheye lens for Nikon F mount.
→ Grey market Nikon prices on eBay:
→ Apple released Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 with Nikon D750 RAW support for Aperture and iPhoto.
→ New Nikon Support article – Vibration Reduction (VR) functionality when using AF-ON button: “When using a Vibration Reduction (VR) lens on a D-SLR camera, the AF-ON button will only activate the cameras focusing and metering systems, it does not activate the lens VR function. To activate the VR function the shutter release must be used.” Update: Nikon removed the article.

My name is Patrick, I’m a blogger and Nikon shooter for several years. The 14-24mm was always one of my favorite lenses but I never found a good and favorable solution to put a filter in front of it. As most of you know, Lee has a solution that works, but is very expensive.
I met Christian from Logodeckel (German for Logo-lens-cap) first when he printed some lens caps with my logo for me. A nice gadget for guys like me 😉 At that time I had the idea to use his 3D printer to create a filterholder for the 14-24mm lens that holds a 150 x 150 mm square filter like the one from Haida, Lee or Lensinghouse. I told Christian about the idea …
