Bah. I just hope they finally get the 50mm 1.8 updated to AF-S, so everyone can finally quit whining about the lack of fast AF-S primes to go with their D40s.
These 3 PC lenses are not new at all!!!! They have already been anounced a long time ago on all (official) Nikon web-sites (was it early this year or late last year, can’t remember). It just takes much time for Nikon to provide them.
You’re 100% right in my book. Lets see the Nikkor glass equivalents to those great Canon 50 1.2 and 85 1.2 lenses. With the D3 and upcoming D700 we need FF buddies with the sharpest and fastest glass.
Looks like the new 85mm PC-E is optically identical to the old lens of the same focal length. Still 6 elements in 5 groups, same close focus distance and filter size. Looks like they just added the auto-diaphram.

what is a PC-E lens?
Just google it and you will find out – it basically lets you shoot straight skyscrapers and much more
Why all the PC-E’s? There are more urgently needed updates than these specialty lenses.
Yes…. I Publish it, on my website, (in spanish) on past May the 17th…
