Hot on the heals of my news of a rumoured D800, we now have some real news. The Nikkor 70-300mm has been quietly replaced. Whilst the old lens was a seemly basic plastic bodied lens the optical quality was actually very high and many professionals had one in their bags.
The lens has Nikon’s new stepper motor technology (AF-P), so it will not be compatible with many older cameras, but will work fantastically well with video and live view.
