Nikon 500mm f/4E, 600mm f/4E, 16-80mm f/2.8-4G VR Lenses Coming Soon
Nikon will announce these three lenses in the near future: Nikon 500mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens, Nikon 600mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens, Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-4G ED VR lens.
The new version lenses will be lighter, smaller, more expensive and with improved VR than the current Nikon 500mm f/4G ED VR ($8,295) and 600mm f/4G ED VR II ($9,299).
This new Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-4G ED VR lens is expected to replace the current Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G DX ED VR with a different hood: it will be more square than round.
