Tamron SP 85mm f1.8 Di VC USD

We now know that Tamron’s new stabilized 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens retails for $749 and will be available by the end of this month for Canon and Nikon DSLRs. A Sony A-mount option is also coming along shortly but won’t feature the internal image stabilization since A-mount cameras offer sensor-based stabilization.

You can pre-order the new Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens for each of the mount options here at B&H Photo.

Nikon Recalls Even More D750 Cameras for Shutter Shading Problem

By

Last summer, Nikon issued a service advisory for the D750 as a result of a shutter malfunction that it said only some units manufactured between October and November 2014. Now, Nikon is updating that service advisory for cameras manufactured through June 2015, which was just before it issued the original service advisory.

In the updated service advisory, Nikon apologizes for the problem and provides instructions and a tool to check your serial number to see if it is an affected camera. If so, you can send your D750 into Nikon for free inspection and repair to correct the issue even if the warranty has expired.

Nikon has been raked over the coals for problems with its professional DSLRs that end up requiring repair or replacement. Obviously, this does not help Nikon’s image and the company really needs to come out of the gate strong with the new D500 and D5 with no weird malfunctions.
