And seriously every copy of that lens I've ever used (about 10) has been 100% solid & sharp from edge to edge and has some of the BEST contrast and color transmission ability of any nikon lens.

And if these lenses are coming, they don't need to have VR, just AFS and an ED element. But I would have to ask, what took them so long to update the 35 1.4, shouldn't that lens have been updated like 10 years ago?

Which implies 50mm/f1.2, 85mm/f1.4 . . . woohoo!<br /><br />That said, I've been wrong plenty of times before You have to ask, “what’s in it for Nikon?”
