End of Ais NIkkor
Akira:
Yesterday, I noticed that the all information of Ais Nikors had been moved from the current model section of the Japanese web catalog:
https://www.nikon-image.com/products/nikkor/fmount/
to its discontinued item section:
https://www.nikon-image.com/products/nikkor/discontinue_fmount/
Apparently, Nikon finally has put an end to the handling of Ais lenses.
Roland Vink:
The AF-S 12-24/4, AF-S 18-300 and all AF-D lenses are also discontinued.
As a user of AI-S lenses I am grateful that Nikon kept them in production as long as they did, but with the move to Z mount and the downturn in the photographic sales, it was only a matter of time...
Erik Lund:
Truly remarkable they kept them for so long! Thanks for the heads up
Jakov Minić:
That is very sad to hear. Thanks, Akira for letting us know.
Airy:
This would have been worth an official communication or celebration. Sad news, but there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just the official or, should I say, administrative end of a brilliant era. There may be others in the future (but, given the way technology is driven, that's slightly less likely).
