Nikon Developing 120-300mm f/2.8 with Built-In 1.4× TC

A built-in 1.4× teleconverter in a 120-300mm f/2.8 is a real solution to a real problem — sports and wildlife shooters constantly swap TCs in the field, which means missed shots and dust on the mount. Nikon is baking that flexibility directly into the barrel. If the optical quality holds up, this lens could land as the single answer for anyone needing reach from 120mm through to 420mm f/4 without carrying a second piece of glass. Still a development announcement, so no price, no ship date, no full spec sheet. But it's confirmed hardware, not a patent or a leak, and that matters.
