An AF-S 35mm f/1.4 would be a lot more likely. I hope so, if it puts more AIS 35mm f/1.4 onto the market at low prices :) Given the existing DX 35mm f/1.8, its unlikely that a new FX 35mm Nikkor would be f/2 or slower – purely from a marketing perspective.

I used the combination twice in 4 years and was horribly disappointed both times. The TC just sat in my bag until I got a 300 2.8. Don't plan on using teleconverters with zooms. You'll just be massively disappointed. The 70-200 2.8 VR (not the new one) with the 1.7TC is crap. I used the combination twice in 4 years and was horribly disappointed both times.

I've always been afraid to shoot anything but Nikon glass. Is the quality of the Sigma 50 1.4 really better than the Nikon 50 1.4? I’ve always been afraid to shoot anything but Nikon glass.

Maybe even a *gasp* f/1.2 in the 50mm or 85mm focal length. Nikon is way behind Canon in the professional FX prime lens category and I hope (pray) to get some more fast primes next year that are FX .

They already exist. And with the quality of the 24-70 f/2.8 ... why the desire for a 2.8 prime? My main love of primes is that offer apertures larger than Nikon is willing to give us as zooms - so something like a f/3.5 prime or something is just silly. And I have no interest in a <200mm f/4 zoom. I don’t understand the desire for slow lenses?? They already exist. And with the quality of the 24-70 f/2.8 … why the desire for a 2.8 prime?

You will complaine. When new lences are released this forum will be carpet-bombed with meassages like: - Zoom?!?! OUCH!! - Why the f*** 1.8? Why not 1.4? - I do not want THAT focal length! - Oh no, it is for DX - WE WANT PRIMES! -This is it. Now I change to Canon! - And when all your wishes come thru: - Damn it is expensive. Well now the old one will come to the aftermarket. Merry Christmas! One thing is 100% true: You guys will not be saticfied. You will complaine.

But my D700 does not meter correctly with it, so if Nikon released a pro mid-range zoom, I would certainly buy it. But not the current terrible 24-120.
