Nikon’s Nikkor-branded lens have been produced since 1959. Today, there are over 75 million of them in the wild.
Nikon hit the 65 million lens mark in October 2011, then hit 70 million back in May 2012 – and Canon just rolled past the 80 million EF lens mark. [click to continue…]

As previously rumored, Nikon announced its new AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR lens today. The new lens is the first Nikkor lens to feature third generation of Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) technology and the first to offer five stops of image stabilization.
The Nikon 70-200mm f/4G VR lens will be available in November for $1399.95 and is available for pre-order here at B&H Photo.

The Nikon version of the famous 70-200mm f/4L IS from Canon is expected to arrive next week – just in time for PhotoPlus 2012. Nikon Rumors received word that the lens will be the first to feature Nikon’s next-gen VR system.
Given that the Canon equivalent runs $1350 at retail, I’d say that would be a good starting point to look toward for the Nikon lens – possibly up to $1400 or $1500.
Stay tuned for all the news from PhotoPlus next week.

Nikon Rumors picked up word that a new AF-S 800mm f/5.6 VR Lens should arrive in September around the time of Photokina 2012. The longest current lens in Nikon’s line up is the 600mm f/4G ED VR AF lens. Given that this lens is priced at $9800, I would expect to see the 800mm lens in the same $14k ballpark as Canon’s 800mm f/5.6L.

Recent leaks and rumors suggest Nikon is planning to launch a pair of new lenses soon – the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR and the AF-S DX 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR.
The 24-85mm lens is rumored to be an affordable full frame lens (possibly a kit lens?) to accompany the rumored Nikon D600. And the 18-300mm is an all-purpose DX lens for cameras like the Nikon D7000.
The lenses are rumored to be available by the end of June, which (if correct) puts an announcement any day now.
