http://nikonrumors.com/2010/02/19/nikon-af-s-28-300mm-f3-5-5-6g-vr-lens-patent.aspx And also Nikon is supposed to be releasing a 24-120 f/4 VR this year. ; I'm going to go out on a limb and state publicly that I think Canon's next announcement later this month is going to be an updated 24-105 f/4 IS of somekind (it may be 24-120 as well), esp. with the new IS system they have. ; Canon's announcement timing seems like a game of chess they are playing with Nikon..... (see below) And B&H is now accepting preorders on the 16-35. Nikon announces the D3s, Canon then announces the 1DMkIV, ahead of schedule. Canon announces the new 70-200L 2.8 IS (after Nikon's) Nikon announces two new FX lenses, Canon announces ????
And you said they would never make this one. ; ; Not sure how long it takes to go from patent to product but I'll be one of the first in line for this lens if they make it!
[me=Roger]gets out his abacus and runs some calculations[/me] Would like a <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/552480-REG/Steadicam_MERLIN_ARM_VEST_MERLIN_ARMVESTPK_Upgrade_Kit_for.html/BI/1824/KBID/2466>Steadicam</a> to go with that purchase?
I thought I was asking too much for a 24-300! ; ;D ; Wait, I got it...a 12-400VR II f/2.8-4. ; That should do it. ; :
