Nikon’s lightweight 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR has been removed from Amazon’s search results, and pre-orders seem to have been cancelled and refunded. The lens was first announced as being in development last June, with the first sightings in the wild appearing a month later. Finally, a month after that, it was officially launched.

Yet, here we are, seven months later, with the lens still showing up as a pre-order item on everywhere that still has the listing available.

It has been removed from search results completely.
