Inexplicably, Nikon, known for rapacious lens prices releases acheap 200-500mm f/5.6

$1400? How? If it turns out to be good, it'll be the biggest bargain they've offered. Rumour is Tamron might have built it. I sure hope not. If they release a 24mp D400 and this lens, it would be a wildlife shooter's dream. Compact and powerful. Fantastic and about time. Isn't the Nikkor 10-24 DX lens made by Tamron? Perhaps Tamron (& Sigma) proved another point - that optically very good long "consumer" zooms can be made at a much lower price point than anybody expected. Nikon were really pushing it with their 80-400 AFS - with pro-level pricing for something quite ordinary. I'd be surprised if the 200-500 is any worse in build quality, weather sealing etc. It's a great time for Nikon DSLR owners. |
