Kinda looking like that “leaked” Nikon info might be real after all. If so, it’s a good time to be a Nikon shooter.
Still, it’s a bit hard to choke down a $500 (about 30%) street-price increase on the 70-200mm. Looking forward to a head-to-head review of them.
Still, this means that shooters who don’t have the 70-200/2.8 may be able to find it used pretty inexpensively. I know that I don’t shoot full frame (yet!), but…it’s a damn good lens.
I’m against censors… Sensors, yes… Censors…nope.
