AF-S Nikkor 18-35mm F3.5-4.5G ED |
Nikon Continues to Expand Upon the NIKKOR Lens Lineup with the New AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR Super-Telephoto Lens and AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Wide-Angle Lens
MELVILLE, N.Y. (January 28, 2013) – Today, Nikon Inc. introduced the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR super-telephoto lens and AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, designed to assist FX-format photographers in capturing their subjects with clarity and precision. Specifically engineered for sports, wildlife and photojournalists, the 800mm f/5.6 offers the longest focal length of any NIKKOR autofocus (AF) lens, affording photographers the opportunity to get closer to their subject with extreme telephoto capability. Additionally, the compact and lightweight 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 is an ultra-wide-angle lens option with a 1.9x zoom range is an ideal focal length for landscape photography and other wide-angle applications.
"The addition of the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR super-telephoto lens and AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED wide-angle zoom lens to the FX-format NIKKOR lens lineup reaffirms Nikon's commitment to the optical excellence and versatility that professional and enthusiast photographers have come to expect from Nikon," said Bo Kajiwara, Vice President of Marketing, Planning and Customer Experience, Nikon Inc. "Whether shooting on the sidelines under stadium lights or composing a landscape in the early morning sun, the newest additions to the NIKKOR line of lenses provide the ability to shoot stunning still images or HD video with amazing sharpness and clarity."
The Elusive and Iconic Image is Never Out of Reach
AF-S Nikkor 800mm F5.6E FL ED VR |
The new AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR super-telephoto lens provides professional photographers the opportunity to get close to a subject with the longest fixed focal length lens in the NIKKOR family. Designed for the needs of sports, wildlife and news photographers, the 800mm features a maximum aperture of f/5.6 and gives FX-format photographers the chance to capture intense detail and textures that fill the frame from a distance. Included with the new lens is the matched AF-S Teleconverter TC800-1.25E ED which has been developed exclusively for the 800mm f/5.6 lens. This is the first Nikon teleconverter to employ an ED glass element, and extends the maximum focal length 1.25x to 1000mm (1500mm when used with a DX-format camera) and maximum aperture to f/7.1 while maintaining full AF performance on D4, D800 series and D600 FX-format D-SLR cameras.
Originally trialed and tested under the demanding conditions of the 2012 summer games, the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR maintains the handling, optical performance, vivid color reproduction and exceptional clarity that professional photographers rely on. This is the first Nikon lens constructed with two fluorite glass elements, combined with two ED glass elements and a Nano Crystal Coat, to help ensure outstanding performance with minimal chromatic aberration and flaring, all within a durable lens body. The addition of fluorite elements allows for consistently excellent optical characteristics while keeping the lens balanced and lightweight. The lens is comprised of 20 elements in 13 groups, and is one of few Nikon lenses to utilize an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism that enables seamless mechanical control and enhanced stability in auto exposure control during continuous shooting. Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization is also implemented, with the equivalent of approximately four stops faster1 shutter speed correction.
An Ultra Wide-Angle Wonder for FX-Format Photographers
Nikon's newest ultra-wide-angle NIKKOR offering, the AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED, features a useful wide-angle focal length of 18-35mm (1.9x zoom equivalent). This FX-format lens is ideal for large group shots, architecture and photographing or shooting HD video in tight interiors. Performance is optimized for ultra-high-pixel-count D-SLR cameras including the Nikon D800 series and D600, while providing close focus up to .92 feet (approx. 11 inches). The 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 presents a new, lightweight wide-angle option for FX-format D-SLR shooters.
The AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED packs NIKKOR quality and performance within an extremely compact and lightweight 0.85 lb. (385g) body, making it easy to carry while on location or on-the-go. Constructed with 12 elements in 8 groups, Nikon's newest wide-angle lens features a seven-blade diaphragm that allows for beautiful and precise image blur, ED glass to help ensure outstanding performance with minimal chromatic aberration while Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) reduces ghosting even in backlit situations. Two focus modes are available including M/A (AF with manual override) and M (Manual) in addition to a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) that enables quiet AF operation.

So? Finally Nikon using fluorite element i though their ED element can replace the fluorite.
I'm just curious to find out where they are getting their lens blanks from. as far as I know .. there's only a handful of companies that produce synthetic fluorite large enough to be used as anything other than very small lenses. Takahashi and Canon are two of the ones I know of .. and I haven't seen anyone else use fluorite in large elements outside of these two companies. until nikon's 800mm.
it would be amusing if it came out that they were buying their blanks from canon.
which honestly wouldn't suprise me, canon is probably one of the few companies in the world that can produce quality fluorite blanks for lenses.
that's just wishful thinking. Nikon has been using that material on its steppers and microscopes for many decades now. there is nothing special about making large blanks, only time and money both of which Nikon has.
of more interest is the FLD glass, which is cheaper and has the same properties of CAFl2 but none of the manufacturing costs.
the sun is setting on the ages of this material as the end all be all. and it is neither exclusive to canon or any manufacturer.
Camera World are already taking orders on the new 18-35mm lens for £669 !
That's SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY POUNDS for an f/4.5 at 35mm lens!
The world has gone mad.
The problem is that with recent advancement in digi cams the f/4 is becoming now the "new" f/2.8. So expect many more lens products built around the ~ f/4 aperture and costing a pretty penny.
Gone mad? Not really. Considering the price of Canon 17-40mm F4 L which is a similar lens at similar price tag I don´t see a problem here.
Canon 800mm F5.6 IS USM EF is selling for around $11,000 at Camera Canada, so whats up with Nikon pricing their 800mm at almost 18,000? It might be time for this PO BOY to reconsider an change!!!
On average, Canon super telephotos are more expensive than Nikons, see 300 2.8 VR vs IS, 400 2.8, 500 f4 and 600 f4 VRs vs IS, etc.
The newest Nikon 800 5.6 includes a matched TC, so that may add to it's cost. None of it makes a bit of difference to me, because this lens would clearly be a rental at best.
But changing systems, at a time when Nikon's making the best performing DSLRs in the world, based on the price of one super telephoto may not be wise. But whatever's best for you, good luck.
$7000 is a lot to pay for a TC. It is going to be a rental for me too, just don't get the crazy price, compared to a canon 800mm.
Have you seen the MTF charts for the Nikon 800? It wipes the floor with Canon's version - which it should, being what? 3 years more recent than the Canon. What I don't understand is how Nikon have managed to make it heavier than Canon's when Canon's latest superteles are so appealing due to their lack of weight!
@marike6 - the product prices you are comparing also has vastly different weights in between them - canon being made around 1.5 to 2.5lbs lighter than the equivalent nikon lens - partly due to more expensive fabrication (according to canon anyways)
for example, the canon 600/4 is nearly the same weight as the nikon 500/4.
The 800mm is very nice but is not for everyone.
The 18-35 is a for people who want less weight? Seriously?
Nikon never followed up with a better DX zoom after 17-55. A little more range on the longer end would be nice. Stick to 77mm diameter, no variable aperture zoom please. [There's the 16-85 already.] Choose what's possible-f2.8. 3.5 or f4. VR optional.
Make it a keeper- no excuses Nikon.
I'm also excited about the electromechanical diaphragm on the 800mm - I'd love to see that technology trickle down to more affordable products. Nikon continues to amaze me that they remain competitive even with an over 50-year-old lens mount that has a much smaller diameter than their competitors and which still relies on a mechanical diaphragm linkage.
The 'new' diaphragm isn't that new, it was introduced with the PC-E lenses > 5 years ago, it is the 'E' in PC-E. They have introduced many G, Non-E lenses since then, and I think they will continue to do so for a while, and put the 'E' only where a mechanical aperture has drawbacks. Why? The Nikon mount is about compatibility, and the 'E' breaks compatibility with all cameras introduced prior to the D300.
Re: the fluorite elements on the 800mm, yes Canon has used them since the 1970s, before some of their drawbacks had been mitigated. Fluorite is fragile and changes characteristics as the temperature shifts. Which is why the old Canon FL teles focused past infinity - you couldn't have a hard infinity stop as was common in the manual-focus days, as this would shift on such lenses depending on the atmospheric conditions. That's not a very big deal in the age of AF.
Presumably Nikon gained experience with Fluorite optics in recent years with their ultra-high-res photolithography equipment used in silicon chipmaking. This is an area that Canon also competes in, but Nikon's ArF immersion scanners are far more advanced than Canon's. At those molecular-level resolutions, the optics must work in the UV spectrum, as the wavelength of visible light is too long to resolve the detail that they need to resolve. That's where fluorite optics come in. (Just like on the renowned UV-Nikkor lenses)
Canon always cites fluorite as a reason for whitish paint on superteles. Keeps temp down. How did Nikon get around that?
Canon paints their stuff white because of branding. if they were really concerned about temperature they would be fully reflective (aka silver mirror like surface).
Re: the 800mm, of course it's not meant for mainstream customers. It's a "halo" product, used primarily by professionals. All manufacturers of top-quality equipment have them, there are very few companies in the world who can build such things. (or sell them, for that matter)
They help to establish the reputation of the manufacturer, and they often have a positive impact on the opinion of the kind of high-end users who have a lot of influence over the status of a brand, and its potential customers.
I must admit, the MTF on the 800mm is amazing. And when Canon's equivalent is already ~$14,000, $18,000 isn't really dramatically different, especially since it comes with a dedicated teleconverter.
Give me a decent (and cheap) FX 35mm f/1.8 or even f/2 and I would much prefer it to the 18-35mm
Now they need to re-make the 28-105/3.5-4.5AF-D to include VR and better IQ and I'd be all set for a light weight FX kit that would be 18-35 + 28-105 + 70-200f/4.
Not gonna happen any time soon though . . . .
What would be the point when they already have the new 24-85 VR?
The 800mm lens is a company lens or for the very rich. Nikon is heading in the wrong direction in my opinion in terms of expensive lens and sub-par cameras(build quality and MP's). How many 800's are they going to sell, at that price,really and who wants a 36mp camera at 4 fps(huge files), not the average consumer. People have been screaming for an upgrade for the 80-400 and an upgrade for the d300/s and Nikon seems to not give a rats ass about what the average consumer/prosumer wants.
Given Nikon's inability to even be able to supply the current superteles, one can only wonder how few of these insanley expensive 800's they will even manufacture, let alone sell. I agree, it's the last lens they needed to worry about in thier line-up. Producing a a D300s replacement and updating the average at best 80-400 and possibly introducing a 400 f/5.6 VR would be infinitely more sensible from a market perspective.
Nikon just released and delivered the excellent 70-200 f4 VR, a lens users have been asking for. They have been releasing lenses and updating their lineup faster than any other company.
The 800 5.6 is not for amateurs, but for professional nature/wildlife shooters. It is designed to keep pace with Canon, who offer the 800 5.6L, and to raise Nikon's profile at sporting events like the Olympics.
Such complaints are puzzling as both companies have larger and more varied lens selections than any other manufacturer in the world. Don't worry, Nikon's not going anywhere and the 80-400 VR or 300 f4 VR will be coming soon to a camera store near you soon.
As far as "subpar" 36 mp cameras (lol), nobody said it was FOR the average consumer. If it's not right for you, Nikon likely has another body that meets your needs and expectations. If not, there are are other companies with more choices now than at any time in history.
this is a high end lens for a market that will bear the price. not for your mom and aunt.
Lots of complaints about this seemingly pedestrian UWA zoom. I'm guessing there is method in the apparent madness.
Nikon has now completed a line of decent entry level AF-S FX consumer zooms (18-35, 24-85 VR and 70-300 VR). This means they can introduce an entry level FX body at a much lower price point than D600 by omitting the built-in AF motor, top LCD, substituting VF prism with mirrors and using a less expensive AF module. So look for a D3200/D5200 type entry level FX body sometime in the future.
There is also the complete range of f2.8 zooms and a mid priced range of f4 zooms that deliver image quality good enough for many pros. In the last few years a nice range of f1.8 and f1.4 FX G AF-S primes has also appeared (seemingly illogically) alongside the older AF-D equivalents.
As soon as that new entry level FX body arrives, Nikon will be able to offer the image quality of FX format to a huge range of novice and less-affluent photographers.....wait and see.
Nikon is all about making money - so they make lenses they feel they can sell as well as lenses that will keep the Tokinas, Sigmas, and Tamrons from grabbing lens market share.
If this performs on par with my 17-35AFS at equiv. apertures then I likely will get one to save the weight. If it doesn't perform better than the 17-35AFS then Nikon will not get my $$.
Why the 800mm? Only Nikon knows why that lens instead of others that surely need updating.
I doubt if it will match the old 17-35mm, and all new Nikon lenses appear to have some really serious vignetting, I think they are getting a bit lazy, expecting everything to be sorted out in Lightroom afterwards...and focus speed?
The only thing I won't miss is the flare pattern on the 17-35mm, but I'm not holding my breath to see if it will be much improved. We will see.....
Since when is 3.5 a small aperture? The difference with 2.8 is not even a full stop. If you want the play with DOF, you're looking at the wrong lens.
So you want the exact same features as the 14-24mm or 16-35mm, but at a lower price? Are pigs flying today?
Sure, if you willing to overlook the fact that at 35 it's 4.5, it's wide.
f/4.5 at 35mm is fine with me most of the time and I suspect many other folks that will take the weight savings over something faster and much more expensive. For landscapes most of the time (except at night) I'm at f/5.6 anyways . . .
For a lens that doesn't go to 16, does't have VR, and doesn't open to 2.8 $750 is a whole lot of money.
That's funny because even the third party Tokina 16-28/2.8 retails for $850. Neither Nikon or Canon make a full frame 16mm-capable zoom for under $1200 let alone one with VR or f/2.8. On which current lens are you basing your argument that $750 is too much for this lens?
Where is the replacement/upgraded 80~400 VR lens that people have been waiting years for? Instead they come out with an $18K 800mm lens that the average person can't afford to buy.
what makes you think the average person has a need for this even if they could buy it? when have you seen the average person carry a bazooka sized lens around. even if it was 100 dollars, this lens is aimed at the working pro that needs it. clearly you don't understand it.
Buy a Sigma 50-500mm and slap it on a crop sensor and you have your 800mm for about a grand. ;)
While the 18-35 AF-S certainly is a good addition to the range, a 17/3.5 AF-S N for the same price would be much more intresting.
The 18-35mm is not a particularly exciting lens. Small maximum apertures and no VR (although VR is probably not necessary in a short zoom.)
But for a multi-platform lens (suitable for full-frame DSLRs) and good optics, it's quite affordable at $750 US, $799 in Canada. MUCH more affordable than the 16-35mm f/4 which is $1250.
Since the D600 is an affordable full-frame camera, it seems that Nikon is making lenses for this type of DSLR. The first one was the 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR. Makes sense, I suppose.
I guess I will need to rent the new 800mm lens when I need one, because $18,000 is slightly above my budget. (Unless I am buying a car). I assume that LensRentals.com will have it in stock by the spring. (The 600mm f/4 rents for $332 for four days, so the 800mm lens will probably rent for $500).
After reading the posts here makes me sad to realize this site has some of the biggest dopes and "Brand Bois" I've seen on any photo site. Shameful.
wow $18000 for the 800mm ,are they trying to make up for the nicely priced d800 and i am talking about the few good copies with no AF issue
Does one day ever go by where there isn't a troll post about real or imaginary D800 AF issues?
1 out of 51 AF points on some early D800s was slightly soft, and months later it's morphed into "the D800 can't focus". If you can find a camera with better than the D4 AF module of the D800, go buy it. Until then, give it a rest.
It only morphs when someone has an agenda of sowing fear uncertainty and doubt about a competing product. FUD is used by underground marketers to try to paint a competitors product as being somehow 'less' than your own. If you have NOTHING that will sell your own product, you try to tear down the one of the competitor. It doesn't matter if that FUD is true, only if you can make it stick.
Glad I didn't wait for this lens and just got the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 which I love. The price is too high for what amounts to a slow, consumer wide-angle zoom.
The Tokina 16-28 is a very good lens but it's big and heavy, similar in size and weight to the Nikon 14-24 2.8. A 950g Tokina vs 385g for this lens is a big difference for some.
And for an UWA lens, that most landscape photographers are going to be using locked down on a tripod, the extra 2/3 EV of the f2.8 zoom is probably not a big deal.
As far as price, it's a Nikkor with tons of exotic glass. Besides, UWA zooms, especially ones designed to cover FF, are rarely inexpensive.
Nikon's new 6.7-13 f/3.5-5.6 VR UWA zoom for the Nikon 1 comes in at $500, so the price of this lens is consistent with the rest of their lens lineup from CX to FX.
18-35 mm and 3.5 aperture
short range and small aperture !!!!
how bad for Nikon
i prefer to buy sigma lenses; cheaper and better options
what's wrong with an 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 for full frame? On an APS-C camera that is like a 12-24mm f/2.3-3. Still complaining? Seriously, most wide shooters will likely be at f/5.6-11 anyway on a full frame camera. If you want a 2.8 lens, get the 14-24mm f/2.8 or a 17-35mm f/2.8 or whatever else. If you want 18-35mm on APS-C camera, get an 18-55mm kit lens. This is a cheap full frame ultra wide.
??? .... Actually, on an APS-C camera, the 18-35mm lens will be a 27-52.5mm equivalent.
I thiink he meant that the 12-24 on a crop sensor is the same as the 18-35 on FF.
What the viking was saying is that the equivalent lens for an APS-C camera would be something like a 12-24mm, not that this lens will act like a 12-24mm on APS-C.
(I see Antony John beat me to it.)
He's saying the 18-35 on FX is roughly equivalent to using a 12-24 on DX.
I recommend to first see how the tests come out. Very often Nikon is quite a bit better than Sigma in that respect.
Glad I can get the Canon 17-40L (wider, longer, and faster, better built) for the same price :)
Too bad it only gives decent results on a 12 mpx and below. Good enough for Web though.
Wait! 12mp is only good enough for the Web?! Damn.
Someone needs to tell all those people still using the Nikon D3s and other older pro level cameras!
12MP is GOOD ENOUGH for WEB?
OMG! In which planet am I living?!!
much rather get the 16-35, wider, has IS, better built and better IQ than the old canon 17-40 which is honestly long in the tooth and not suitable for high MP uses. off course, the low resolution demands of canon bodies make it ok.
Canon must really = FAIL as they don't have any ultra-wide angle lenses with VR.
Are your hands really so unsteady that you can't shoot a WA without VR? Perhaps some basic skills classes are in order. There are few subjects where motion blur won't control an image a 1/20-1/30s, and that's a safe shutter speed for an unsteady photographer at those FL.
Just bought an old Canon 20-35 USM lens for $200, which performs quite nice.
I am happy to see, that new lenses are still made in this class, but I am more happy, that I shouldn't spend 4 times more money for probably 10% better image quality ;)
funny how people try to justify their own purchases and commitment to a brand :) Let me guess, you bought if after reading Ken Rockwell's review.
I would say it will be quite a bit more than 10%, but ofc hardly 400%. Dimnishing returns kick really fast in this high end category.
But then, these lens are not designed for regular folks but pros which make their living with those lens.
Old Nikkor 20-35mm f2.8 is quite usable lens today too.. (I guess maybe better than Canon counterpart).
Dan, no - I bought it just because it was available for such price in good condition, and I needed a lens for migration period to fullframe. And this is no justifiying, just an observation..
No offense to Nikon too. Definetly if new identical Canon lens would come out, the price would be even higher.
And Mescalamba - Pros do have faster and much more expensive glas :)
Isn't it good to get a 20-35mm lens only at $200 for a full-frame camera? All that matters is a QUALITY IMAGE, not IMAGE QUALITY. And that Canon 20-35mm oldie won't remain far behind in terms of IQ, I guess.. :)
So far so uninteresting. A slow wide zoom and a purely professional lens.
I have been talking quite a bit with a friend who's going to get Canon equipment, and honestly, Nikon has a lot of catch-up to play when it comes to their lens lineup. There may be many great lenses, but there is, e.g., nothing to beat something like a EF 4,5-5,6/100-400 L IS USM, with the only remotely competing lens predating AF-S and VR.
There don't seem to be any modern lenses in the "amateur" telezoom range, and Nikon seem to have phased out interesting, differentiating, lenses like the DC primes.
All in all, I hope that they are going to use the 80th anniversary of the Nikkor brand to modernise their lineup and re-enter the market for affordable, interesting lenses.
@ZAnton Nikon only relatively recently updated their "normal prime" offerings, and from the looks of it, the driving factor behind that was the missing AF motor in a lot of bodies they had sold. Canon, in contrast, has no such legacy that would require such an update.
Both companies probably have a bunch of smelling corpses in their lineup, but right now the Nikon announcement at hand is rubbing theirs in my face ;-)
(I'm using Nikon by the way, just to maybe clear that up…)
You're using Nikon yet you are crowing about a variable aperture, push-pull zoom, the 100-400 L.
Of all the lenses for be envious of.
it is not the question WHY Nikon has updated their standard lenses, but that they HAVE it done, and Canon - doesn't.
Well, it's a particular piece of kit that would absolutely be in my budget, but which I can't seem to get "on-brand". Sigma has something in that range, but they have that certain stigma (pun not intended, but while we're here…).
Carrying fast, long primes around, while certainly cool in some ways, is definitely not something even most enthusiasts would do, considering that those pieces tend to cost more than the cars required to move them. So yes, I am crowing about the lack or age of some products.
@ZAnton, reasons aside, this is a Nikon article, so I'm crying about their lineup ;-)
ZAnton, i wish canon would improve their stinking 50mm f1.8 for something decent!!! I wish they make a 35mm DX f1.8 at he same price!!! Etc etc etc!
The only crap canon did was creating new wide angle primes with IS and increase the price for DOUBLE!!! x_x
If only sigma would start making affordable lenses again! (not that i regret increasing the construction quality!!!)
I wonder how much more those companies will keep inflating prices?!?!? :(
we can only dream someday samyang will put auto-focus in their 85mm f1.4 and create a smaller cheaper 35mm f2.0 or a 50mm f1.4 AF!!! XD
I'm mystified by the 18-35/3.5-4.5 – a focal length range that was exciting when introduced back in 2000 but today seems terribly pedestrian. And for the premium, and having to suffer the variable max aperture, it'd better be optically pristine.
The new lens weighs only a bit over half as much as the 17-35/2.8 and is more than a centimetre shorter.
On the downside it's a tad longer and heavier than the (clutch AF) lens it's replacing, so yes, it better be one sharp piece of glass.
Well, I have had excellent service from the 12-24 DX lens since I got it 4 years ago, rarely need the extra WA FLs available from other lenses. This is a very light and small lens, 3cm shorter than the 16-35 and 300g lighter. I bet it'll sell well to D600 users that want a WA zoom but are not into heavy-weight glass.
18-35 FX looks good. If I'm not having the 16-35 VR ... may give it a shot.
Just skipping over the text I first read that "Nikon has launched a new 18-35 ... $18000". Ouch ;-)
You mixed up the price of the 800/5.6 with that of the 18-35. The zoom is suggested to be retailed at $750.
Pradipta he said he was 'skipping' and made a mistake - just like you did.
@ dpreview: Please post about latest Tokina launches of 70-200mm f/4 (FX) and 12-28 f/4 (DX) lenses with Nikon mount
I need to announce bankruptcy once this lens is released in India. Also Nikon 800mm f/5.6 lens is the most exciting announcement of 2013 so far.
Well, at least the MTF charts of the 18-35 look much better than the older version.
Let's hope that stopped down a stop it's pretty sharp across the frame.
Hmm the new 800mm or a new car? One thing is for certain, the lens is not likely to depreciate in value like a new car will :).
Can anyone comment on 18-35 MTF chart. It looks kind of "meh". Somewhat better then its predecessor but nothing to be excited about.
You could spot aliens on the moon with this on the Nikon 1
Seriously who will buy this? National Geographic? Spy agencies? Use the metabones speed booster and gain a stop better for only $600 :-)!!!!
Somewhat better? I think it looks much much better.
Is it good enough - I guess we'll find out.
Yes and why would I favor this over the older Sigma EX 17-35/2.8-4 or the Tamron SP AF 17-35/2.8-4 Di when I can get either of them for 1/3 the price and they are faster.
@KentG I'm guessing you'd favor the new Nikkor because it was designed for modern FF sensors and will likely beat the older Sigma and Tamron lenses in the borders, corners, and if I had to guess, in the center.
@KentG: I have had both Nikkors, pro and consumer grade, and 3rd party lenses, and the Nikkors never disappoint, that's a good reason for me.
AF-S Nikkor 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR
(Not compatible with the D2 series, D1 series, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70 series, D3000, D60, D50, D40 series, 35mm film cameras)
Works with the Nikon 1 series......Score!!!
Wow and with that 2.7x crop factor that's....2700mm with the 1.25x extender. You no longer need to be in the same zip code to be a peeping tom.
It's not non-compatible with those cameras. It just won't auto-focus at f/7.1 with that converter on there. That's what they're talking about. Without the converter, it should AF on any of them and with the converter just might, or focus manually. Besides, if you can afford a lens of that price, you can afford one of the newer cameras that can AF at f/8.

Guidenet, you're wrong (despite 12 people 'liking' your comment – they're all wrong too).
This lens uses an electromagnetic diaphragm, like Canon lenses, which older Nikon cameras don't support. Thus there's no way to control the aperture using a camera older than the D3.
All AF-S lenses do, Samuel. And every Nikon DSLR works just fine with it, or prefers it actually.
That's not quite true, M Jesper. Take an AF-S lens off the camera and flick the little lever at the rear. That mechanical connection operates the diaphragm. (It's true the f-number is selected on the camera.)
Only a couple of Nikkors have electromagnetic diaphragms, such as the PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED. But since these lenses nonetheless retain an aperture ring on the barrel, they can be manually operated with some cameras (in a very complicated fashion).
This new 800 mm lens lacks the aperture ring, and lacks the mechanical connection to allow the attached camera to stop down the aperture mechanically. Thus it works only with recent cameras that can send electronic signals to stop down the lens, which is 'pro' cameras from the D3 onwards.
By the way, that's what the E stands for in 'PC-E' on the recent tilt-shift lenses, and what the E stands for in 'f/5.6E' in the name of this new super-telephoto lens.
Thanks, M Jesper. Of course. Moreover, none of the new releases says anything about an incompatibilty. It just talks about the autofocus issue at 7.1 and the cameras that can AF at that aperture. That's all there is I can see, Samuel. Do you read something else into it? Besides, as we've all thought, if you're going to afford that price of admission, you probably have the level or camera which can AF at f/8. I could have purchased seven to ten cars when I purchased my first for the price of this lens today, not considering "real" dollars. ;-) It's certainly out of my range of what I'm willing to spend, and I'd like one.
why is not compatible with a d200?
it doesn't focus @ f7.1 but should focus @ 5.6 ?
Mantra, it's not compatible because your D200 won't be able to operate the lens' diaphragm. Just read Samuel Dilworth's detailed posts above.
Samuel, thanks for making things clear! Your comment was really helpful.
Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism is incorporated for enhanced stability in auto exposure control during continuous shooting even when the teleconverter is used (Not compatible with the D2 series, D1 series, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70 series, D3000, D60, D50, D40 series, 35mm film cameras)
Wow, never seen a more perfect MTF chart!!
Dammed!!! This thing will either burn or cut your sensor into pieces!! STUNNING!!!
Suggested retail and street price and two very different things..
exactly, when you consider how few of these will be available, you'll be lucky if you only have to pay MSRP
Man, just imagine if Canon had announced a $18k lens...
It's ok for Nikon but Canon, don't you dare.
Canon has "gone big" in the past as well. The 1200mm/5.6 originally listed at about $90K, but the only one I actually saw with a price tag on it was $120K. (The others belonged to agencies not interested in selling under any circumstances. Canon built to order, it took a year or more to get it, and if you really, really needed one there was no alternative.) Heck, even Sigma's not above charging in the $30K range...
It's a consumer grade lens, very similar in construction and features to the 'pedestrian' 24-85mm kit lens that comes with D600.
odd .. i thought nikon claimed that flourite had no advantages .. and was inferior ..
"Nikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to enable the production of lenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration.
Put simply, chromatic aberration is a type of image and color dispersion that occurs when light rays of varying wavelengths pass through optical glass. In the past, correcting this problem for telephoto lenses required special optical elements that offer anomalous dispersion characteristics - specifically calcium fluoride crystals. However, fluorite easily cracks and is sensitive to temperature changes that can adversely affect focusing by altering the lens' refractive index."
I hope they fixed that little problem they were having with flourite before putting it into a 18K supertelephoto :)
You mean fluorite, flourite is a brand of flour with which I can make great cakes.
Yes, they probably put the fluorite elements into a special shock-protected casing with a refrigerator ;).
This is a bit speculative:
Special ED glass requires rare-earth elements. Many rare earths are getting very hard to find, because China is hoarding them, so it's back to fluorite.
This is quite funny. Nikon's gone from saying ED glass has all the benefits of fluorite with none of the drawbacks, to saying (in the UK press release for this lens):
"The fluorite elements also deliver superior optical performance, achieving high transmission rates with minimal chromatic aberration and much lower dispersion properties than even super ED glass."
Amateurish at best.
Another thing: the US press release goes on about "fluorite glass" when they really mean just fluorite. It's not glass.
Writers aren't usually scientists, and quite often have no working knowledge about the subject they're writing about. Even today, you'll read and hear the media talk about how many "fighter jets" were deployed to an area, when "jets" don't fight at all. They merely propel an aircraft. They should use the term "fighter aircraft".
Sometimes they do say "jet fighters"... but who in their right mind thinks that a developed nation is deploying manned propeller aircraft to attack ground or air targets on the modern battle field?
"Flourite glass"... it won't be the last time you hear that. ;)
That's marketing for you! It has long been known that fluorite crystal is superior in these applications to any type of glass, and fluorite's fragility problems were solved many years ago by fine control of the crystal growing process. Nikon tried in vain for years to match Canon's supertele performance. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! The use of rare earths is a non-issue: the ones used in low-dispersion glass are common and plentiful. I assume the reason Nikon went with fluorite is there is no viable option in designing a lens of this focal length/aperture to modern standards.
Also, it is possible that this is 'fluorite glass". Canon's own Super UD glass is optical glass blended with fluorides. Time will tell if Nikon's remedy is pure fluorite crystal, or something more like Canon's Super UD glass.
Teila Day: sure, but this is Nikon. The company should get its act together and find one of the several people on the planet who can both write and understand optics basics. Alternatively, put a writer on a team with an engineer. Together, they'll put out a decent press release. It's not hard.
And the current situation is more like Lockheed Martin talking about 'fighter jets' than the press doing so. We expect better from Lockheed Martin, if not the press. (And it's hard to blame the press while press releases look like this!)
M DeNero: if it's fluoride glass then Nikon should call it that, not fluorite glass. However, it's not. It's fluorite, like the Canon lenses. And probably used for the same primary reason: to get the lens weight down.
Let's hope this new version is way way better than the old version which was not very good. If it is, then the $150 premium over the current will be well worth it.
Though I have the wonderful 17-35/2.8 AFS, rarely do I use it at f/2.8 and I'd love to save some weight if the IQ is very good and the ghosting/flare resistance is good as well.
Hopefully Nikon did a better update with this lens than it did with the 24-85AFS (which was not much of an improvement if any over the previous version).
Have Nikon been upping the prices. I got the older one for $350-400US (new). If one looks at the lenses that have been upgraded to AF-S like the 50mm's or the 85mm's it's gone up considerably. My 50mm 1.8 AF-D was under $100 for grey or US version for about $115. At least I am outside the USA and the USD has fallen. Even the pro zooms like the 70-200, before $1600US now almost $2500US. VR1 vs VRII. At least I am just a hobbyist with a bit of sense, getting pretty expensive out there.
With the 18-35/3.5-4.5 AF-S, though, I'd probably pass and go for the older 18-35, saving about $150 in the process. AF-S focusing and full time manual override isn't so important with wide angle lenses, which I manually focus more often than not.
I'd rather take the aperture ring and get a better live view experience (live aperture changes while in LV mode) on the D600 and anything else that's not a D800 or D3/4.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is isolated limb perfusion? Can you tell me its indications, technique, and adverse effects?
Suzanne M. McGettigan, MSN, CRNP, AOCN, Board Certified Adult Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Oncology Advanced Practice Nurse, responds:
Isolated Limb Perfusion, or ILP, is a procedure used to treat locally metastatic melanoma , specifically in-transit metastases. In-transit metastases are those lesions that occur in between the original melanoma site and the nearby lymph node basin. For example, if a person's primary melanoma was on the right calf, the lymph node basin draining that area would be in the right groin. In-transit metastases would thus include any subcutaneous melanoma lesions that occur between the original site and the lymph nodes, such as on the thigh.
Treatment of in-transit metastases can include surgical resection (if feasible), isolated limb perfusion, systemic chemotherapy, systemic biologic therapy, or radiation therapy.
The main goal of ILP is to treat the known melanoma lesions or metastases in a limb with very high doses of chemotherapy, yet preventing that chemotherapy from being absorbed systemically (meaning in the rest of the body). By doing this, high doses of chemotherapy can be delivered to the affected limb, while keeping the side effects to a minimum.
During ILP, the vascular supply to and from the affected limb is temporarily cut off from the rest of the body. This is done through use of a type of tourniquet. The ILP procedure is performed by a surgeon while the patient is under general anesthesia. In addition to the chemotherapy that is given into the main artery of the involved extremity, the affected limb is often warmed. This warming is thought to enhance the effectiveness of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy is then allowed to dwell in the affected limb for a specific period of time, usually 60 minutes, and then drained.
Side effects from ILP include those typically associated with general anesthesia. Additionally, other side effects include: risk for infection at the site of catheter insertion, muscle stiffness and atrophy, skin rash and peeling, nerve damage resulting in peripheral neuropathy and pain , and swelling ( lymphedema ) in the affected extremity. It is possible that the chemotherapy could enter the systemic circulation, but the patient is monitored very closely to prevent this from happening. Generally, this procedure is well tolerated by patients and has shown promise in treating locally recurrent disease.

Like those old ads where the ad looks like a windows button to trick people into clicking. Yeah maybe you get more clicks, but does it actually sell or interest people in your product? I've noticed those sorts of tricky ads aren't much in style anymore.

Degrassi: The Most Bromantic Episode
Posted on 05/17/2013 by LisaThe winner of this week's Fan Favorite Friday poll, by a wide margin, is "High Fidelity." Watch both parts online, and relive a crucial moment in Jimmy and Spinner's bromance -- when Jimmy finally forgives Spin for his involvement in the shooting. Here's part one:
Here's part two, which includes the scene where the guys reconnect. If you've never seen High Fidelity, it is definitely worth watching. This two-parter is about SO much more than Jimmy and Spinner. Palex argue about their future plans. Darcy and Manny have a catfight. Ashley and Craig return to town. Ellie, Marco, Paige, Hazel, and Alex graduate. The final scene between Spinner and Darcy always makes me tear up. (I love the song that plays at the end of this episode -- it's "My Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars.)
We'll have another Fan Favorite poll next week, so check the Degrassi Facebook page!
Degrassi: Vote for the Most Bromantic Episode!
Posted on 05/14/2013 by LisaVote for your favorite Degrassi bromance in this week's Facebook poll, and we'll put the winning episode online Friday. (This week's poll was suggested by @DegrassiDaily on Twitter.)
Degrassi has had some major bromances over the years, including:
J.T. and Toby. Remember the episode (years before this picture was taken) when they bought their first condoms together? Vote for "Dressed in Black" if you want to see it again.
Jimmy and Spinner. Several of our Twitter followers nominated Jimmy and Spinner episodes for this week's poll, so you've got a few to choose from -- the one where Jimmy takes Spinner's ADHD medication, the one where they compete in a dance contest, and the one where Jimmy forgives Spinner for his involvement in the shooting.
Eli and Jake. They started out as rivals, but ended up as bros. Isn't it amazing that they stayed friends after the short film fiasco in "Building a Mystery?"Check out the full list of nominees and VOTE for the episode you want to see again on the Degrassi Facebook page. We'll post the winning episode online on Friday.
Degrassi: The Most Heartbreaking Episode
Posted on 05/10/2013 by LisaIn this week's Degrassi Fan Favorite poll, we asked fans to vote for the most heartbreaking episode. The winner, by a large margin, was "Rock This Town." Grab a box of tissues and watch the full episode online. If you haven't seen this episode yet, be warned: You may end up sobbing in a puddle of your own tears. It's a rough one to watch.
I hadn't seen "Rock This Town" in ages, and I completely forgot that J.T. is the reason the party happened. (Emma seemed iffy about throwing one until J.T. mentioned Liberty's birthday.) Somehow that makes what happened to him even more heartbreaking.
Check the Degrassi Facebook page next week for a new Fan Favorite poll.
Degrassi: Which Episode Is the Most Heartbreaking?
Posted on 05/08/2013 by LisaThis week's Degrassi poll asks fans to vote for the episode that's the most heartbreaking to watch, and it's a tough choice.
When we asked for poll topics on Twitter, several fans asked us to do a "most heartbreaking episode" or "saddest episode" poll, so you can thank @jennwastaken, @degrassihaha, @CholeSoledad, and @jiillyybeeaanns for this one.
Twitter fans also nominated heartbreaking episodes for us to feature in the poll. This week's options include:
"Time Stands Still" If you've never seen the school shooting that put Jimmy in a wheelchair, this two-parter is an essential piece of Degrassi history.
"Rock This Town" J.T. was one of Degrassi's most popular characters, and his final episode left his friends -- and the show's fans -- in shock.
"Jane Says" When Jane's father returned to town, she struggled to cope with traumatic memories from her childhood.
"Bitter Sweet Symphony" This episode, about Cam's suicide and its repercussions, is the most recent nominee, but that doesn't make it any less tragic.Check out the full list of nominees and VOTE for your favorite episode on the Degrassi Facebook page. It could be one you've never seen, or one you want to see again (with a big box of tissues by your side). We'll post the winning episode online on Friday.
Degrassi: The Best First Date Episode Winner!
Posted on 05/03/2013 by LisaThe winner of this week's Fan Favorite Friday poll is Sean and Emma's first date, as seen in "Friday Night." (Eclare's first date was a close second.) Watch the full episode of "Friday Night" online:
Sean and Emma are my all-time favorite Degrassi couple, and I love getting to revisit the episode where they first got together. It's crazy to think that even a soulmate-level relationship like theirs begins with the line, "Maybe we could hang out."
Next week, we've got another poll coming your way! Like Degrassi on Facebook so you won't miss out.
Degrassi: What's Your Favorite First Date Episode?
Posted on 05/02/2013 by LisaThis week's Facebook poll asks you to help us choose the best Degrassi episode about a first date. Vote now, and we'll put the winning episode online Friday!
Our Twitter followers chose this week's topic and nominated their favorite episodes. Your voting options include these tumultuous first dates:
Holly J and Declan
Eli and Clare
Cam and MayaAs I'm writing this, Emma and Sean's first date (from way back in season one) is leading by a few votes. I'm surprised that Manny and Craig's first date isn't getting much support. I loved the way "Take My Breath Away" showed the same date from two different perspectives. Vote for your favorite first date now, and come back on Friday to watch the full episode featuring the winning date!

Degrassi Takes on Teen Pregnancy in Honor of Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day
Posted on 05/01/2013 by TeenNickHere's an in-your-face fact: About 2,000 teen girls in the United States get pregnant every day. That means nearly 3 in 10 girls will become pregnant at least once by the age of 20. Eye opening, right?
Degrassi fans know the show has always dealt with real issues in a frank and thoughtful manner. There's a cause and effect for all life choices, and the choices made around sex can change lives forever. In honor of National Day, tune in to TeenNick today starting at 4PM ET for a block of Degrassi episodes that show how different characters handle the consequences of sex.
Watch Degrassi Online.
Can't tune-in on Teen Pregnancy Prevention Day? Check out the related episodes, "Extraordinary Machine" and "Say It Ain't So," here.Sex can have serious consequences, whether you get pregnant or not. For Jenna and K.C., the repercussions included an unplanned pregnancy and the mental anguish of deciding whether or not to choose adoption. Watch "Extraordinary Machine" to see how they both struggled with that choice.
For Alli and Dave, the consequences were stressful in a different way. In "Say It Ain't So," when Alli was offered a chance to enroll early at M.I.T., she didn't know if she was ready to leave Degrassi (and Dave) behind. That decision became a thousand times harder after she and Dave had unprotected sex, and Alli realized she might be pregnant.
Let's Talk about Safe Sex.
Think you'd make smarter choices about sex than Jenna, K.C., Alli, and Dave did? Test your sex smarts with this quiz at StayTeen.org. Answer questions about how you'd react in different situations, and the quiz rates your decision-making abilities.Stay Informed.

Posted on 04/26/2013 by LisaThe winner of this week's Fan Favorite Friday poll is the oh-so-awkward Mercy Street from way back in season four! Watch the full episode online.
If you've never seen Mercy Street, here's what you need to know going into it: Rick was abusive to his girlfriend, Terri, and put her in a coma. In this episode, he returns to Degrassi, and a lot of people (including Emma and Paige) don't want him there. The famed awkwardness of this episode takes place in the subplot, which is about J.T. trying to impress Manny. A few highlights:
"Look, it's a stack of dimes!" - Toby
"Guys, check it out. I have a solution to J.T.'s little problem!" - Danny
"Um... your lips are kinda sweaty." - Manny
"Uh, I can explain!" - J.T.That is just at taste of the over-the-top awkwardness contained in Mercy Street. After rewatching it just now, I'm fascinated by the friendship between J.T., Toby, and Danny. Danny was the one to pull J.T.'s pants down, embarrassing him in front of his girlfriend, but Danny was also the one who used a fake id to buy the penis pump as a gift for J.T. What do you think -- is that a true depiction of what guy friendships are like? You embarrass the heck out of each other, but you also help each other through rough times?
Next week, we'll post a new poll, so watch Mercy Street now!

Happy Earth Day, Everybody!
Posted on 04/22/2013 by LisaIt's Earth Day, and we're celebrating by appreciating nature and the romantic moments it creates. Like this one:
I can really relate to what Katie says about how working in the garden has helped her. Nature is the best. Whenever I'm stressed or sad, the best thing I can do for my brain is take a hike or sit by the ocean and watch the waves.
This planet is good for us, so let's be good back to it, OK? (And not just on Earth Day, of course.)
Maybe if we're lucky, someday we'll all get to experience a Jatie-like moment where our hands touch around a l'il baby plant:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The attorney for a now-fired Philadelphia police lieutenant charged with assault after being caught on video punching a woman at a festival says his client will be vindicated.
Jonathan Josey was charged Thursday with simple assault, a misdemeanor.
District Attorney Seth Williams says he made the decision after carefully reviewing the video. Williams says police were responding to a chaotic situation, but the use of force was unnecessary.
Defense attorney Fortunato Perri Jr. says Josey was working in a very volatile environment that day. He says the 19-year veteran will be vindicated and hopes to return to his job.
The video shows 39-year-old Aida Guzman being struck in the face and falling to the ground, her face bloodied, before being led away in handcuffs.

"Great Brand-New Hotel"
I really enjoyed my stay. From the fresh fruit and chocolate-chip cookies at the front desk to the free hot breakfast in the morning- this hotel is great.

"cool shower and no late check out"
It was a very nice hotel, however, the water in the shower never got beyond lukewarm. Also, I inquired about a late check out(or simply just an extra hour to cover any chance of being late)and was given a less-than-friendly reply that they can hold our luggage in a room behind the counter..

The hotel was in excellent condition and the employees were very accommodating. The large breakfast selection was fresh and tasty. I will always use Country Inn & Suites for future hotel needs.Autentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com
"Highly recommend it!"
Can't believe we got three nights for just over $300 total. We were blown away when we saw the room. Just the basics, but in a good way. Great continental breakfast (best I've personally ever seen). Didn't use the pool or gym but both looked nice. Service was great. About 10-15 minutes from the Galleria. If you are traveling to Buffalo I really recommend […] it!

"nice place-a bit remote"
This is a good hotel and a great value. If you are anything of a foodie, get ready to drive. I have found downtown Buffalo to be a place with many excellent food offerings. Once outside of the city, the opportunities are harder to come by. This, unfortunately, is particularly true in West Seneca. If, on the other hand, food for you is more about quantity […] than quality, this is a great place to stay. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

"great stay !"
We went to Buffalo to see the Habs/Sabres game. This hotel is located about a 10 minute drive from the arena. Our GPS found the hotel address easily...but the signage at the entrance was missed as it was on the ground. There is another major hotel right beside this one and its sign is up high and visible. The room was great and the beds were comfortable. […] The free breakfast was good and everyone enjoyed the pool and the free WiFi ! Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

We stayed here on 2/23/13 when we attended a Buffalo Sabres hockey game. The hotel is approximately 10 minutes from the First Niagara Arena and was easy to find. We have never stayed at Country Inn and Suites but were very satisfied. This is a newer hotel and it looks it. Our room was very clean and spacious and nicely decorated.

This hotel was MINUTES from downtown Buffalo (just off the main freeway), very clean, extremely friendly, helpful staff. There isn't much around there, however there is a 24 hour grocery store across the street as well as some decent restaurants around the corner -- still, it's only a hop, skip & a jump to downtown for the nightlife and events there […] at a fraction of the price of downtown hotels. Would definitely recommend this hotel! Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

"Great stay"
Enjoyed the stay, the hotel is really nice. The continental breakfast isn't the best, but it's free so I didn't complain. The hotel itself is extremely hard to find, there isn't a big sign out near the road and it's directly next to another hotel so I was confused trying to find it. The rooms and the bathroom was very clean it still had the new smell […] to it. The only problem with my room was the fridge was very wobbly which was annoying. Over all it was a great stay.

"Good Value and Location"
Hotel had a nice atmosphere, contemporary but cozy. Coffee,tea and cookies in the foyer. The breakfast was decent with plenty of variety, especially for being included in the price. Unfortunately our room backed onto the elevator an we could hear it well after midnight and then early in the morning. I asked if we could move for the second night and […] the staff was very accommodating. Within an hour we moved down the hall to a much quieter room. The staff was helpful with dining suggestions and where to shop. The closeness to the freeway was convenient but a little noisy at night. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

"Great Place To Stay in the Buffalo area"
What a wonderful hotel. Very clean and welcoming. We were there during a snow storm and in the morning, Brian, one of the Front Desk clerks, actually cleaned off our car and shoveled around it so we didn't have to wade through the snow to get in to it. Talk about service above and beyond the call of duty! I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Oh, […] and the fresh chocolate chip cookies at the Front Desk are awesome as well.

It was very affordable and I liked the fact it was well maintained and the breakfast choices were outstanding, the staff was friendly and helpful.

"Credit Card Confusion"
Overall when it came to the hotel the stay was excellent. Although they promote the 'free hot breakfast', the breakfast isn't really all that good. After eating it I had an upset stomach on the first day and there wasn't any variety. The confusion that occurred with my credit card was that I paid through hotels.com for the room and was required to use […] my credit card for 'incidentals' that would be credited back to my card upon check-out. They ended up charging me for the room again. I ended up having to return to the hotel to follow up. I know it was just a clerical error, but at the same time it took time out of my day and forced my wife and I to change our plans for the day. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie hosťa Hotels.com

Got a budget turntable with a so-so cartridge, or you simply need a new one? You can't go wrong with Ortofon's 2M Red, a great-sounding replacement that won't break the bank. Though it's the entry-level model in Ortofon's lineup, this moving-magnet model has an elliptical diamond stylus and split-pole pins that should yield tighter, cleaner highs, with none of the harshness or stridency you often get with low-priced cartridges. Willing to spend just a bit more? Grado's Prestige Red ($150) will yield a bit better tracking and improved imaging and detail.

How to search for text on a web page with Safari for iPhone and iPad
Browsing the web on the iPhone and iPad is arguably one of the best mobile surfing experiences available. You can quickly navigate to different web pages, sync bookmarks across devices, and more. One of the less noticed features of the Safari browser for iPhone and iPad is actually quite useful, and that's searching for text on web pages. This is particularly useful when looking through forum posts or trying to find a specific topic on a page that has a lot of text content.
Here's how.
- Launch Safari from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to the web page you'd like to search for text on.
- Now tap on the Search field in the upper right hand corner.
- Type in the word you'd like to search the page for.
- Instead of hitting Search in order to search the web, you'll see text above the keyboard telling you how many instances of that word or phrase are found on the page you're currently on.
- Tap on Find "phrase you're searching for" and you'll be shown the instances where that word or phrase is found on the current page.
- When you've found what you're looking for or you're done with text search, just tap the blue Done button in the bottom left hand corner.
There are 9 comments. Add yours.

The Rolling Stones, ABKCO Music & Records, Interscope Records and Universal Music Enterprises are pleased to announce the release of GRRR! by The Rolling Stones on the 13th of November 2012 in North America.Available in various different formats – including a three-CD 50 track version featuring 50 tracks, and a four-CD Super-Deluxe version gathering a whopping 80 tracks – the collection tells the fascinating ongoing story of the Greatest Rock'n'Roll Band In The World, from their high octane version of Chuck Berry's Come On, their first single issued in June 1963, via the thrilling chart-toppers The Last Time, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Get Off Of My Cloud, Jumping Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Women and the perennial juke-box and concert favorites Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice, Miss You and Start Me Up, all the way to the present day with the inclusion of Doom And Gloom and One More Shot, two new studio recordings recently completed by the group in Paris, France. UNIVERSAL MUSIC ENTERPRISES CELEBRATES THE SEASON WITH MUSIC TO GET YOU IN THE MOOD FOR THE HOLIDAYS - ANDRE RIEU, James Taylor AND John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John André Rieu: André Rieu, the world's most popular classical musician known for his energetic and festive live concerts, is releasing HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, on CD, DVD, and Blu-ray™. The HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS DVD features two hours of Christmas-themed music, filmed and recorded in a winter wonderland setting designed by Rieu himself in his hometown of Maastricht, Holland. Produced entirely by André and Marjorie Rieu and their Production Company, HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS will give fans what they've come to expect from Rieu's performances – a musical spectacular featuring André accompanied by his 55-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and six powerful soloists. James Taylor: Get into the holiday spirit with James Taylor at Christmas, a collection of 14 holiday favorites recorded by Taylor throughout the years, including his brand new track "Mon Beau Sapin," a French rendition of "O Christmas Tree," which is only available on this collection. James Taylor at Christmas also features his jazzy renditions of "Winter Wonderland" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," Taylor's unique take on "Jingle Bells," a heartwarming rendition of "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire), and a moving version of George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" which Taylor recorded with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Other tracks include his playful duet with Natalie Cole ("Baby, It's Cold Outside"), a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River," his take on the spiritual "Go Tell It On the Mountain", and to cap off the year, the New Year's classic "Auld Lang Syne." John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John: When your first single from the Grease album, the biggest movie musical of all time, "You're the One That I Want, becomes the best-selling duet in pop music history - that's a tough act to follow. Almost 35 years later, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have combined their iconic voices for This Christmas, on Universal Music Enterprises. A true labor of love made specifically for "the giving season," Travolta and Newton-John will donate the artist proceeds from the album equally to their respective charities, the Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia. This Christmas is an intimate, warm set of traditional holiday songs featuring John and Olivia and an all-star lineup that includes Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett and the Count Basie Orchestra, James Taylor, Chick Corea, Kenny G, Cliff Richard and an original "I Think You Might Like It" by writer/producer John Farrar. *Release Dates… AVAILABLE OCTOBER October 2ndABBA – The Essential Collection (2CD)Soundtrack – Pitch Perfect (CD) October 9thB.B.
