The already leaked Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 lens for Sony E-mount was just officially announced and if you take a look at the press release, the last sentence says:
“This product is developed, manufactured, and sold under the license agreement with Nikon Corporation.”
A Tamron lens for Sony E-mount developed with Nikon?
Update: Tamron updated their press release and removed the sentence.
Nikon released the latest financial results for the first quarter of the year ending in March 2024:
A reader informed me that Nikon introduced a 20-25% price increase in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark, and Norway).
I am not aware of other price increases, but if you have any information, you contact me here or comment on this post.
Nikon had several recent price increases in Japan.
Update:
“It seems to be some strange things going on. It started with one of the biggest resellers, Scandinavian Photo, raised the prices of several Nikon products. Some of theme seemed as errors and was corrected. Then nikon.se made some price changes shortly followed by Cyberphoto (another big reseller). But a couple of days later they lowered the prices again, so did also Scandinavian Photo. The biggest Nikon store in Stockholm, Kameradoktorn, have the same prices they have had since spring. But all of this “back and forte” maybe are a indication of a upcoming increase?”
Nikon released firmware update version 1.10 for the D780 DSLR camera. Here is the list of improvements/changes:
Nikon Z8 owners – just get a BlackRapid camera strap, you can thank me later:
