AF-S Nikkor 300 mm f/4G VR or AF-S Nikkor VR 400 mm f/5.6G

Now that Nikon is about to have a solid body line-up, I really hope they will focus their attention to upgrade their lenses. Many of the AF-D lenses can do with some of the latest advances in aspherical lens design and nano coating -- much needed when it comes to high res digital output.

 

[BenXiaoHai]

wah.... al fx lenses... sure very expensive wan leh...
anyway, i think i'm gonna put the current 35mm f1.8 on hold and wait for the 35mm f1.4G liao

 

[nightwolf75]

taken a big bag of salt, the camera bodies are like a no-brainer... natural progression. there will always be a replacement camera somewhere over the horizon.

but like cactus jack, i'm keen on the 35/14 if it is true... CJ, wat will ur wife say?? :bsmilie:

I don't quite believe the list...
One new body every two quarters? D3X just released, D4X 1 year later... pls...
Then 70-200 is 82mm filter, but nikonrumour's previous post says 70-200 is 77mm filter...
Its like somebody who have a sigma lens's wish list.

 

[night86mare]

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

wah.... al fx lenses... sure very expensive wan leh...
anyway, i think i'm gonna put the current 35mm f1.8 on hold and wait for the 35mm f1.4G liao

prices between this 2 will be very different leh.

mmm, looking forward to the AF-S Nikkor 120 to 450 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR or 400mm VR.

erm... not sure if the posted info will come true... so you sure you want to wait for the 35mm f1.4?

it may not come...

but i can understand why many will want to wait for this one...

 

[erictan8888]

love the 300mmf4 VR and finally the 400mmf5.6.....

 

[enchantingmomentz]

I don't quite believe the list...

maybe Nikon trying very hard to take the lead or trying to keep up with Canon's rumoured new pro DSLR coming soon?

yep the 82mm is kind of like huh?!?

but maybe that's Nikon's way of making sure it will not have the vignetting problem with FX sensors like the current 70-200mm has?
