That was an April Fools joke that Moose played on the subscribers of his email list. There is no 400/4.5 AF-S. This is the exact e-mail that he sent: --------- start Moose's message ------------ From: "Moose Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 10:30:32 -0800 Subject: Moose-News: #32 RRS B50 plate Howdy! Boy, I was really tempted to send you a funny being it's April Fools, but nothing came to mind fast enough. Many of you have emailed wondering where the Moose News has been for the past month. I've been on the road the vast majority of the month, so I haven't been around to post. I spent and incredible ten days in Homer AK photographing Bald Eagles, a once in a lifetime experience for me. We were then in Wichita KS for our Walk Softly seminar, what a great bunch of photographers! And finally, we're just back from our spring trip to the Elkhorn Plains in CA where we've been working on a project for 12 years. I did want to let you know that Really Right Stuff has come out with the B50 plate. It works on all Nikon "N" bodies and the F100. This is a totally new plate, "hallowed" out so it's much lighter than previous plates. It's a must for your camera bag. Also, Nikon announced today their 400f4.5 AFS lens that weighs a mere incredible 37oz! Gotcha---no such lens! April Fools! Travel in good Health!
