It seems like there’s another source of mugs fashioned after a Nikon lens now available. The cap screws off this realistic-looking AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 to reveal the steaming hot (or cold, if you like) beverage within.
Actually, this looks like a pretty good replica – certainly a notch above other lens mugs that we’ve seen. [...]
Sigma Corporation of America today issued a press release announcing the availability of a new lens, the 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM.
This optic is a large aperture standard zoom designed for APS-C sensors (Sigma’s DC designation), and features both a silent focus motor (HSM, or HyperSonic Motor, roughly equivalent to Nikon’s AF-S) and optical [...]
Tokina have announced their latest lens available in Nikon F mount, the AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX. Unusually for Tokina this is a full FX lens, not DX as all their more recent optics have been. Good news for FX DSLR owners!
The lens itself is an interesting focal length, somewhere between the Nikon [...]

Acclaimed wildlife and landscape photographer Moose Peterson has posted a video commentary on one of his favorite lenses, the Nikkor 200-400 VR AF-S f/4. I depend on this lens for so much of my photography, I have it with me no matter what it takes. It is wicked sharp at [...]
So, it looks like this is the biggest Nikon news coming out of a somewhat disappointing PMA 2009 – the F-mount we know (and love?) has hit it’s half-century. Of course, today’s do-it-all AF-S and VR F-mount lenses don’t work on older cameras, and the newer consumer cameras can’t meter with the older Nikkors, [...]
