Is Nikon ashamed of their large format lenses?

[Dan Smith]

I have keyed into the Nikon web pages and get absolutely NO information on their large format lenses. I e-mailed them and weeks later get a response to "call t he company for a brochure as there are no plans to put this stuff on the web". The first two people I spoke with were not even aware Nikon make large format le nses and the third wasn't too optimistic on their continued availability(at leas t here in the USA). Anyone know if Nikon will be discontinuing them here?

I haven't heard of any plans to discontinue them in the U.S. and it would certai nly be a bonehead move if they did. Try and order one through an authorized dea ler though and they are likely to tell you that they have no idea when it will b e received. In my recent experience this applies not only to LF lenses but most Nikon equipment.

Dan,

I recently purchased a discontinued Nikkor 105 -M lens. I found the Nikon site along with their 800 number. Upon calling and telling them which lens I purchased they were able to provide a photocopy of the relevant pages which I received in a couple days. I like my Nikkor lenses and hope they continue.
