Nikon Introduces its longest lens, 800mm

Bigger is not better, although it is no doubt that many photographers would drool with a super telephoto lens this long. Nikon has announced the longest lens they ever made: a 800mm f/5.6 lens, which offers full compatibility with their FX series SLR. As with other Nikon lenses that use F-mount, you can use it on a Nikon DX or even one with an appropriate adapter.

This lens replaces the previous 800mm lens already been discontinued since 2005. With this long lens, this lens seems to only be reached by deep-pocketed photographers. But the official price has not been announced although the most likely to reach thousands of dollars. Professional photographers will have access to this lens in Open Championship golf tournament, while piblik will see it in the annual bi photo exhibition Photokina in Cologne, Germany.
