The coronavirus (COVID-19) has been affecting people and businesses all over the world, and it hasn’t spared the photo industry. After Canon temporarily shutting down some of its factories, now Nikon is delaying the launch of the Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR lens due to “the global impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak.”
Guys from PetaPixel got in touch with Nikon, and the company confirmed the delay: A month ago, Nikon announced that the Nikkor Z 70–200mm F2.8 VR S would be delayed due to “production reasons.” My assumption is that those reasons had something to do with the coronavirus outbreak, considering that it’s been affecting all major companies.
