Of course! I suspect they will remove video capabilities altogether from all lines, it would be a huge step for photographers.
Indeed.
Let the people, who want flexibility to take both image and video, go to mirrorless (e.g. Nikon 1)

the world first review from Ken Rockwell: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/35mm-f18-fx.htm " As all AF lenses, it won't focus in dimmer light or any faster than slower (f/2.8 or f/4) AF lenses; Nikon's AF system doesn't care about lens speed I can't see any coma in this aspherical lens. Falloff on FX and 35mm is visible at f/1.8 and f/2, and gone by f/2.8. With cameras that offer vignette correction, falloff is only minor even at f/1.8. "
The 85mm f1.8g is around $600, don't think the 35mm f1.8 FX will go lower than that. If the 35mm performance is same as the 85mm, then its on my immediate buy list 35 & 85, ideal shooting team! Personal preference not keen on 3rd party lens.
Ken Mockwell... LOL
"As all AF lenses, it won't focus in dimmer light (...)"
Of course!
But that doesn't have to do anything with the lens.Not that I'm in the habit of agreeing with Mr Rockwell but I think what he's trying to say (albeit poorly worded) is the faster max aperture doesn't affect how well it focuses. The threshold is f5.6 (and more recently f8 on some cameras), whilst Canon do have some models that take advantage of f2.8 or faster lenses but increasing the max aperture on a lens doesn't make it focus better or faster in dim light or otherwise. The minimum EV the AF works is determined by the AF module in the camera regardless of the lens in front of it as long as the lens meets the minimum aperture threshold (f5.6 or f8 depending on the camera model and which AF point).

This guy is confusing. Is it 58mm or 67 mm filter thread?! Makes me doubt he actually has one of these.
Out yet in SG?
Thinking of getting this.
