Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 G ED VR will be eagerly welcomed by many enthusiast and professional Nikon photographers who’ve been waiting for a replacement for its 12 year-old predecessor. The original 80-400mm was Nikon’s first lens to offer vibration reduction but the intervening years have left it looking rather long in the tooth. The latest version boasts a new optical design, built-in SWM focus motor and much improved vibration reduction. In this short article, Barnaby Britton gives his opinion.

Just posted: Our review of Nikon’s latest superzoom for its DX format SLRs, the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. In the first of our series of lens reviews produced in partnership with DxOMark, we take a look at the longest-range zoom currently made for any interchangeable lens camera system. By current standards it’s large and heavy for its class, and expensive too, but does its imaging performance make this all worthwhile? Read our review to find out.

The AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm F4 ED VR arrived in our Seattle office a few days ago and since then we’ve been shooting with it as much as possible. We’ve put together a gallery of 34 images, shot with the new lens mounted on the 36MP Nikon D800. As well as straight-from-the-camera JPEGs, we’ve also converted several Raw files, and have made ‘to taste’ adjustments to give a clearer picture of how the lens is performing.

Oct 24, 2012 at 11:06:42 GMT LENS NEWS 1-SYSTEM LENSES MIRRORLESS NIKON Share: Tweet Pin It Print view Email

Nikon has announced that it is developing three additional lenses for its 1 System mirrorless cameras. The 32mm f/1.2 will offer a classic short telephoto ‘portrait’ option, equivalent to an 86mm lens on the 35mm full frame format. The 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 VR is an image-stabilized, 18-35mm-equivalent wideangle zoom. Finally the 10-100mm f/4-5.6 superzoom will offer a similar 27-270mm-equivalent range to Nikon’s existing 1 System powerzoom, but in a smaller package with a mechanical zoom ring. Full specifications, price and release date are yet to be revealed.
