January 10th the price on the website was £279.99 and I feared what the price would be after the rumoured Jan 12th raise. I was glad to find that the price had dropped to £259.99 ($381,53) http://www.jacobsdigital.co.uk/index.php?thequery=Nikon+F1.4 The guy in Jacobs said that Nikon had raised the price on some items (he mentioned the D700 and some lenses as examples), and other items had dropped in price. He didn't have any explanation. So far I like the results I get from it, but I'm not sure that I can become best friends with the autofocus I bought this lens on January 13th in Jacobs “Digital Photography & Video” in Oxford Street, London.

Until I can eat/smell/taste/touch the AF-S/I'ma stick with my 1.4D. I want to know it's not going to ghost like my current lens. No review of the 1.4D has shown the type of ghosting I see with contrasty light even to this day...why should I trust a review for the brand new lens? Waiting until it's on the shelves is not going to stop me from shooting. I just canceled my order with ritz–ESP and all. Until I can eat/smell/taste/touch the AF-S/I’ma stick with my 1.4D.

Most of these being the lessor priced DX lenses. I don't think anyone knows for sure, but it may be wise to buy now if you can to be safe. I just purchased a AF-S 14-24mm that I have been eyeing to be safe. It would appear though that the increase from what I have heard and seen so far is about 10%. Good luck!
