new nikon lenses - now confirmed by Nikon - in last post

[bastic]

so soon we will be able to but some new nikon glass
AF-S DX 55-300/4,5-5,6 G ED VR
AF-S 85/1,4 G with Nano
AF-S 24-120/4 G ED VR
AF-S 28-300/3,5-5,6 G ED VR

I know that few TP'ers will go for new 85mm

Im interested in 24-105 f4.0 ...

it could be a good walkabout lens for me, as at the moment I use 35 f2 and 105 f2...

maybe even could replace both of those primes (if only picture quality will be good enough) and let me get longer glass....

hmmm dilemmas

This is all speculation at the moment, isn't it?

 

[bastic]

we will see them sooner then we think
september I think

 

[Arkady]

The reveal will be next month at Fotokina, I expect...

 

[bastic]

so September ;-)

If that's how it'll be, the 24-120mm f/4 sounds spot-on for me, especially if I do the inevitable go and go FF sometime in the near future. Will sit nicely with the 12-24mm f/4.

Oooh sounds interesting, that'll fit nicely on my F3.

I'm a bit of a aperture n00b, would you mind explaining why this is a good thing? I figured maybe it's because the glass will be cheaper for very little loss in useability compared to a f2.8 maybe?

That's the theory, but the prices that Nikon have released in this instance don't seem to be following that trend at all...

Yeah that's why I was a bit confused lol! I thought maybe I'd missed another key factor...
