Nikon 70-200mm VR - New Version Coming

Written by Eric on July 31st, 2008 | 1 Comment


I’ve seen two different sources indicate the coming of an updated Nikon 70-200mm VR lens at Photokina. Nikon Rumors published a story yesterday regarding word from a Nikon VP. Additionally, I recently read a quote from Graham Watson (renowned Tour de France photographer and Nikon shooter) as he spoke in a matter of fact way that a replacement 70-200mm lens was coming from Nikon.

The 70-200mm will be replaced in September by a newer version, the ‘N’ series - I can’t wait to get hold of one!

    Good news, but I guess i’d rather wait until I know how good it is before I replace my current one.
