It would appear that Nikon has just applied for a lens patent for pretty much the very lens I was pining for just two weeks ago! According to Japanese online outlet Asobinet, Nikon has applied for a patent that could be a 300mm f/2.8 VR lens.
In my head, Nikon’s hierarchy read my article proclaiming it was time Nikon brought my favorite DSLR lens to mirrorless and thought, we can’t have Mike trudging around with his Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4E PF ED VR forever, got one of their engineers to draw up a few optical diagrams, and sent an intern down to the patent office before afternoon tea.
