Maybe it's coming, you never know. Nikon didn't specifically mention that they're not gonna release wide prime any time soon, so they might be in the process of developing it for all we know. Maybe they are trying breakthrough design that's why it takes longer. I have a feeling they will hit us with really really good FX prime when it's released. (just like how they released the awesome 14-24mm)

Super shots. #1 is adorable.

What are the prices? If the difference is greater than $150 I'd stick with the D Philip wrote: > I want to buy a nikon 50mm f1.4 lens. > > Should I buy the D or the G? > -- > Philip

Well...it looks like the TC will round out the package. I'm SERIOUSLY writing to Nikon that they should offer a discount on TC's to buyers of the new 70-200! Anyone want to start a petition? Max Green

I have 3 nano lenses now (105vr, 14-24 and 24-70). While I don't have directly comparable non-nano lenses, my gut feel from using these lenses for a while is that it increases contrast and reduces flare to a noticeable degree. Sometimes you put on a filter, or try out a certain lens and notice a lack of contrast compared to other lenses. Almost like there is a bit of haze over the subject. Almost like looking through your glasses at the...

But if you instead of cropping use a TC with the Mk II to get the same field of view as you get with the Mk I then you get a more detailed image...

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Market adjustments between different nations, trading blocks (ie: EU and NAFTA, etc) can vary quite a lot - all depending upon the actual item being sold. Even within NAFTA here in Canada/USA the consumer price can vary a lot, and it's often very confusing to the average consumer coz they don't understand the underlying elements, etc. Here's one small example. The D3x body sells for...

Move in 1.5 feet, or......get the d3s and use the 1.2 crop mode, or.....get some therapy and ask the Doc why it is that you should have flawless equipment and not be willing to compromise one factor when 4 out of 5 areas are improved. God, if your photography demands the best, gett he 200 2.0 and be done with it.....But you my friend will then whine about the weight, price and maybe even the paint color.
