After reading the press release on Nikon's website,
I found out they're also discontinuing all their
large fomat lenses and enlarging lenses. This is
quite a "reshaping"!! I guess new sales of these
lenses have slowed down a lot.
Hi !
Well they stop improving them about 15 years ago. Schneider/Rodenstock
for the Europeans, and Fuji for the Asians invested and keep "the flow"
going from their labs. Pray for Copal to stay in business !
I think Nikon pays the demise of research in LF lenses. The sales drop
because for the same price you could have a "state of the art" lens from
the other major manufacturers.
This is not exactly the case in enlarging lenses, and the F body line of
cameras. I understand that digital has stopped sales for the low end
part of the range (F55 and neighbours) but on the upper end, except the
F6, I think there is a market. (it seems I'm wrong according to Nikon's
staff)
We are fortunate that there is such a huge second hand market ! Time to
buy the accessories you need most !
