Update: the lens is now officially announced.
Earlier today I reported on PhotoRumors that Sigma will announce a new 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art full frame lens. The first pictures just leaked online courtesy of digicame-info. No additional info is available, stay tuned for more.
It seems that Nikon has a secret new promotion called “We pay your sales tax” – they will pay the sales tax for you when you buy new Nikon gear from B&H. I am not sure what the details, but you can try to add a Nikon product to your cart at B&H and see if you will qualify.
Update: the new Nikon sales tax promo is now official at B&H:
I tested that with a Nikkor 24-70mm lens and D810 camera, entered a NYC zip code and received credit for the tax during checkout:
The latest Adobe updates include support for the Nikon 1 J5 and D810A cameras:
The following lenses now have new lens profiles:
As previously promised, Nikon released the SDK (software development kit) for the Nikon 1 V3 camera. If you are a programmer and have created some interesting solutions/implementations with Nikon’s SDK, please contact me so I can share them on the blog.
In addition to refreshing the 500mm f/4 and 600mm f/4 lenses this summer, Nikon may also introduce a new Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-3.5 DX lens (or f/2.8-4) for APS-C DSLR cameras. The new lens is supposed to be a replacement for the Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G DX ED VR (currently $200 off) but it will have a different hood – it will be more square than round.
A patent for a Nikkor 16-85mm f/4 DX VR lens was filed back in 2012.

Harv. (website | tumblr | instagram) shot the free school for street and slum children located under a bridge in Delhi with his Nikon D3 and various Nikkor lenses:
My name is Harv., I’m a portrait and music photographer based in the UK. A couple of months ago I had an opportunity to go to India, the last time I was there was eighteen years ago, so I jumped at the chance to go back, and arranged a few stories to cover and pictures to take there.
One of the places that intrigued me was a school I’d heard about, a free school for underprivileged children and street kids from a slum in East Delhi. One of the interesting things about this school is that it has no building, the classes take place in the open air, under the bridge of a metro train station. There are no desks or chairs, the 200+ children sit on the dusty ground, use walls as blackboards and write in their notebooks the best they can.
