Missed the announcement. What was it?Ordered the morning after the announcement from Nikon USA - preparing to ship today.
He means when Nikon officially announced the lens.Missed the announcement. What was it?
Great! How long ago did you order?I received a message from Nikon today, stating they were preparing to ship mine, and needed me to respond by Monday as to whether my invoice/order was still valid with my camera store.
Of course I verified the invoice and replied to Nikon today.
Oh, back in April, I think one or two days after they began accepting orders. It's been a while.Great! How long ago did you order?
Can someone who get their lens recently share their serial number? Just curious about the number of lenses nikon made to date. This website http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html is still at 1500ish.
Does it have a plastic feel to it? Not nearly as heavy as you expect given the size?Got here today (ordered 4/5 from Nikon USA). The build of this thing really makes me question spending 7000 USD. My 600 f/4 feels like an expensive lens. This 800PF... not so much. Oh well, I don't give a **** provided it performs as well everyone says it does.
I an promise you that the lens is sharp and functions well. It does not need to be heavy to be an excellent lens. I have not used my 600 f/4 since getting the 800mm PF in May. My experience is I take the 800mm with me even if I "might" use it - such as a casual bird walk 800 miles from home. The 600 f/4 only went if I had plans to use it seriously.Got here today (ordered 4/5 from Nikon USA). The build of this thing really makes me question spending 7000 USD.
