Nikon announces the 2160mm/5.6G (if you have a Nikon 1)

[Roger]

Or 800/5.6G in FX terms...just in time for London 2012.


Price TBD, although if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

Awesome looking lens. ; Will need to rent one. ;

Cannot wait to see images from London 2012!

Nice to see them re-introduce that lens. ; I bet it weighs a ton though.

As expected, while it hasn't been released for the general public, their pre-production models are in London:

The price is rumored to be $10,200. ; I'm surprised its that low since the SRP for the 600 f4 is $10,299. ; I guess it being an f5.6 makes a little bit of a difference.
