Two new lenses expected to be announced tomorrow...watch this space!

Interesting, finally something more practical and useful from Nikon ... presuming they're both to be FX

Yes I believe so!

ryanyboy · 08-02-2010, 18:29

'Bout time!!

Come to papa.......

SamuelHearn · 08-02-2010, 18:30

24mm 1.4! That would be lovely.

Wail · 08-02-2010, 18:33

But what's the price of the 24 f/1.4 going to be?

From Robert White web site, the 35 f/1.4 manual focus is just over £1,000

... can't imagine the 24 AF-S to be any cheaper?

The 16-35 f/4 also looks interesting, especially since they no longer make the 17-35 f/2.8 which was a mistake to discontinue me thinks

Could replace my 14-24mm as cant use any of my Lee filters on it.

Look at the price of the Canon 24mm f/1.4 L USM II and you can have an idea. The Nikon is expected to be slightly more expensive.

Just hope it doesn't cost the same as the Nikkor 28mm f/1.4!

About the 16-35mm VR, it seems a very interesting lens, depending on the price. Canon sells the excellent 17-40mm L with a good price tag, but it doesn't come with image stabilization.

Scott, there is a specific Lee filter holder for the Nikkor 14-24mm.

icecavern · 08-02-2010, 18:56

Joe there's a few threads about these on here.

The 24 is going to cost £1500-2000 if it does come out. I'm more interested in the 50/1.2

I got an e-mail this morning mentioning the same thing. Looking forward to it.

StewartR · 08-02-2010, 19:14

Hang on a sec. We went though all this last week:

New Nikkors due to be announced today

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the first thing to remember about lens rumours is that they're VIRTUALLY ALWAYS WRONG.

Let's look at the lenses that have been announced/introduced over the last year or so. Who predicted ANY of the following?

Jan 10 - Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM
Dec 09 - Nikon AF-S 300mm f/2.8 G ED VR II
Dec 09 - Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III
Dec 09 - Nikon AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 G VR Micro
Sep 09 - Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Sep 09 - Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Sep 09 - Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro
Jul 09 - NikonAF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G ED VR II
Jul 09 - Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR II
Apr 09 - Nikon AF-S DX 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED
Feb 09 - Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II
Feb 09 - Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 L
Feb 09 - Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

Pretty much nobody, that's who.

And then there are the perennial rumours of the next thing in the pipeline. For example:

- Canon EF 100-400mm Mk II
- Canon 300/2.8, 400/2.8, 500/4, 600/4 Mk II
- Canon 24-70 f/2.8 IS
- Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4 G
- Nikon 100-500mm or somesuch

These have been predicted for ages, but I don't see any of them on the shelves yet.

Sure, if you "predict" enough different things and your approach is sufficiently scattergun, you're bound to get the odd one right. But I reckon 99% of stuff that's talked about new lenses is misguided.

Joe T · 08-02-2010, 19:37 **Thread Starter**

Aye, but tomorrow they cometh! (Probably!)

icecavern · 08-02-2010, 20:40

If they only announce the 24 and the 16-35 I'll be very disappointed.

King_Boru · 09-02-2010, 04:45

Sure enough!

icecavern · 09-02-2010, 07:54

I'm guessing at £1899 but waiting to see.

Radiohead · 09-02-2010, 07:55

I'll go £1800-1900 as well, and £950 for the 16-35.

And about £800/£850 for the 16-35 I think.

awp · 09-02-2010, 08:05

It seems lens prices are going up and up - and at a time when prices for work are down down. Takes a lot of pics to pay for these two.
