AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR is coming
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Nikon F mount And who predicted no more new F-Nikkors?
Although aimed at sports genres debut Tokyo 2020, with TC14 III, it should be versatile for wildlife, but limited for smaller birds at some distance. There are some wildlife Pros, including Brad Hill, who rate the Sigma zoom highly for wildlife, notably for larger mammals.
The current 300 f2.8G VRII weighs 2.9kg. The fluorite should trim 120-300 closer to 2 kg.
This new fast "exotic" medium telephoto zoom means it is unlikely that Nikon will release an updated 300 f2.8E FL prime (?) Similar uncertainty hangs over the future of the legendary 200 f2... It's hard to justify the release of a fluorite upgrade (Unless perhaps Nikon do this in a Z-Mount model). Trimming off VR should shed it of a pound, or so, of mass
The 200 f2 is a great niche prime for indoor sports and portraits. Lowlight ISO on the top-end Nikon action cameras has become really excellent; so the extra stop of a 200 f2 is really for DoF.... But, rather IF, the 120-300 f2.8 has great bokeh, who will pay out for another heavy fast prime? The surprise release of this fast zoom, encompassing 120 thru 300mm, also has interesting implications for the future values of the current fast primes in 200 and 300 F-Mount. A Used 200 f2 is scarce, the 300 f2.8 is far more common by comparison
