Today, Nikon is launching the new AF-S NIKKOR 200-400 mm F/4G ED VR II. Its a major upgrade of a very popular lens. It is equipped with VRII technolgy, wich let you use up to 4 stops longer shutter speeds than you normally could hold without camera shake. Nano Crystal coat is also applied, to effectively reduce ghosting and flare. A new A/M mode is also added, to minimize the risk of stopping AF action by touching the focus ring. The weight of the lens is 3360g, and is delivered in a soft and practical bag.

The lens will be available in the stores on the 28th of May.

New lenses

As of today, Nikon launches two new lenses, the AF-S Nikkor 16-35MM F/4G ED VR and the AF-S NIKKOR 24MM F/1.4G ED.

They will be a great addition to Nikon's line-up of lenses. The fast-aperture prime wide angle lens has been sought for during a long time, and I can't really wait until it hits the stores at the end of Marsh.



The 16-35VR will break new ground for the nigh time and travelling photographer.
With a new price/performance ratio, I know it will be a welcome addition to our lenses, and I hope that all of you will cherish the wide open performance of this new lens. It will be on sale on the 19th of February.
