Default Nikon is quitting LF lenses

Nikon, Inc. is ceasing production of LF lenses. They will sell the remaining
stock, and that's the end.

I cannot imagine they were ever making large volumes anyway...

I really like the Nikkor M 300mm f/9 I have. But that is the only Nikon L.F.
lens I ever bought. Really nice for portrature. I also used it for some
landscape work, but now use the Wisner Convertable Plasmat set when hiking
around with a L.F. setup on my back.

Bummer!

Then again, there should be enough of them around to keep generations of
photographers occupied selling them forth and back on ebay.

Zeiss dropped out of this market quite some time ago...

Then I'm glad I got mine when I did. It's
the nicest lens I own, bar none. Even if
it is only f/8.

A real jewel.
