Why does a post asking a simple question regarding whether anyone has received the 180-600mm lens elicit responses from people who didn't even order one?

My Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 continues to autofocus with my D7100 after the latest upgrade. It's always had an issue with proper auto focus in live view. But, that's another issue.

I purchased the 16-85mm lens a few years ago to replace my 18-105mm lens. I didn't see a significant increase in quality, but I did like that extra 2mm on the wide end. And, I didn't like the f/5.6 on the long end either. So, I sold the 16-85mm and applied the proceeds towards my purchase of the 10-24mm lens. But, the D7500 kit with the 16-80mm(when it becomes available) may provide me with the opportunity to upgrade at a "reasonable" cost; The full price for that lens is just too much for me to pull the trigger. I'll then be taking my 10-24mm lens with me less often.

Thom Hogan makes the obvious prediction; that Nikon will get into the DSLR equivalent mirror-less game relatively soon, with their offerings accepting their current lens lineup. The open question is whether their offerings will be FF and/or APS-C. Waiting to see what they will offer is yet another reason for me to delay upgrading my current body.

<p>"Anyone have any ideas of what to do or language to include in an agreement?"<br> Shouldn't you be asking this question of a lawyer?</p>

<p>I would imagine that one of the first discounts would be the D500 with the 16-80mm lens bundle. As the lens isn't currently discounted in the bundle, there is much room to reduce the bundle price.</p>

<p>Wow! All the bashing at the suggestion of adding new features to Nikon cameras. As long at the features can be turned on/off and don't negatively affect the shooters that don't use them, then absolutely, additional functionality options are great.<br> There are many features of my Nikon camera that I almost never use, such as video. But, as it doesn't affect my shooting, and it's available in the off chance that I'd like to use it, great to have it.<br> I can see myself using additional connectivity options (besides pulling out my memory card for insertion into my PC) on rare occasion.</p>

<blockquote> <p>Nikon would probably say you're thinking about it wrong. It's not that FX is potentially cheaper, it's more that super speed is more expensive.</p> </blockquote> <p>That's it in a nutshell. Ignoring the cost of changing from DX to FX lenses, if you DON'T require that super speed pro-quality camera, the D750 upgrade is the more appropriate choice. Alternatively, those of us with D7x00 cameras who don't want to ditch their DX lenses can wait and see which of the D500 capabilities appear in the D7300 and/or if the D500 price drops after those that MUST have it on day one have received their orders.</p>

<p>Not upset about the price of the D500; seems just right. Unfortunately, the bundled 16-80mm lens isn't discounted significantly from the standalone price. At the over $1000 price for that lens, I presume that it will stay on the shelf for a while until lack of interest causes a price reduction or sale.</p>

<p>Sorry, but you are asking legal questions and not photography questions. I recommend that you consult with a lawyer instead of taking advice from a photography forum.</p>
