Moonhawk, a quick story, on what I consider one of those amazing moments we sometimes experience. One of my favorite bands and albums was/is Pink Floyds, Animals. Its the album on whose cover are those iconic smoke stacks with the pigs flying over them!
A few years ago when I visited London, I was coming into London on the train from the south. When almost to the station and looking out the window, suddenly, there they were, those so familiar to me, those huge smoke stacks from the album cover. The only thing missing were the pigs flying!! :lol:
It's one of those moments that stays with you!! ;-)

Now Nikon has secured a patent for a 10-600 mm lens to use in front of a 1" sensor according to various websites that cover camera and lens news. With the sensor zoom factor of 2.7 this will give a range that is comparable to 27-1620 mm lens on a full frame camera.

The 1" sensor is becoming more and more popular, with Nikon, Sony, Lumix, Samsung and Canon all using this sensor in more and more cameras every year. The latest of them the Canon powershot G3X.

There are some possibilities for Nikon to use this new lens patent to bring us much closer to the ultimate camera than has ever been possible before.
They could make a bridge camera with this lens and they could make a lens of this kind to use in the Nikon 1 lineup of cameras. Either way, we can now expect to get the lens many have been dreaming about, a lens that covers almost all the zoom range we ever dreamed of, a lens that we can use handheld with in camera or in lens 5 stop stabilizing, a lens that many of us never have to take off the camera, the all round travel lens, the sports and bif lens and a lens that we can put in front of a good in low light backlit sensor that is big enough to produce much better image quality than has been possible in the most popular bridge cameras so far.

And it is possible that this lens or a camera with it will be available soon, as this lens was already designed in 2013, but patent not secured until few days ago. So it is quite possible that we will see something very interesting from Nikon later this year based on this new lens patent.

What do you think about this? Anyone interested?
