Rumours: Nikon D400 & 200-500VR

[Jan-Petter Midtgård]

By the way those who have used the Sigma or Tamron 150-600's, does AF function with all AF sensor points at 600mm, or is it limited like with an f/8 lens to a few central sensor positions? Thanks.

All AF sensors on my D810 functions at 600mm with my Sigma 150-600 Sport.
I upgraded from a Sigma 150-500 and the new one is a big improvement. The only drawback is the weight, but I usually use it on a monopod or a tripod with a Jobu jr 3 gimbal head.

I found this review of the 200-500/5.6 Nikkor:

It's in Swedish but should be readable to some of us. ;-) The review is quite complementary of the lens. They say good things about the quality of the tripod mount, which is encouraging.

I noticed on the the Finnish store verkkokauppa.com's web pages that their "number of lenses in stock" saldo for the 200-500/5.6 was -6 a few days ago, and today it is -2. They got four samples of the lens today!
