Nikon 70-180 Official Announcement / Discussion Thread

[markymark]

but it is unlikely one has anything to do with the other. the 70-180 is a tamron design, maybe built in a tamron plant(?). these different lenses probably also were not in competition for the same resources to get to market

Hopefully the wait won’t be long then.

Just out of curiosity do you know where she ordered it from?
How can a pro Nikon shooter who placed her order on day one still be waiting for it?

She's not still waiting. Cancelled it back in June/July when she got the 400TC. She ordered from a large dealer in CA. Don't recall the name.

AFIK the only lenses still backordered are the 180-600 and the 600TC. One due to overwhelming demand and the other, as I said, seems to be having some sort of technical/manufacturing issues. All preorders of the 600PF were filled but given the type of field reports coming in I expect demand will increase and it will become backordered soon.
