Hi folks,

my prediction concerning a successor to the AF-S VR 70-200 2,8: Next Photokina.
Why: All its predecessors had a 5-year-life cycle. And the current version was released in 2003.

What do You think: Will the vignetting-issue be the only change on this lense (besides design)?

if they do come out with a new 70-200 f/ 2.8, will they offer it in the white/grey?

When do you think a new version will be released?

Even if someone were trying to pass this as real, the glaring ommission is a “N” for the Nano coating all new pro-calibre Nikon lenses are getting. Also, it’s common knowledge what VR and VR II is, so it would be redundant on the second verstion to actually label “Vibration Reduction” under VR II. The shape looks like modified Canon lens!
