Thank you. It’s good to report initially, sure, but this thing seems way blown out of proportion. As Steve stated, since there have been no cases of image degradation, then people need to calm down a few notches about something they only THINK is a problem.

You really need to stop sensationalizing all of this shite, it is clearly not a problem until you are seeing greatly reduced image quality in your photography. It was the same thing with people and OMG zoom creep on a long zoom lens, I mean; if you get a new lens, and expect not one annoying thing to happen, then you should have waited longer to buy it.

But as far as I can see, this doesn’t affect image quality at all and is just more of a whiney “my lens isnt perfect” issue as opposed to a more functional one. Get over it guys, seriously.

That’s Nikon’s organizational problem one: Letting these issues go on for so long before throwing a bucket of water on the fire, just like the famous White Balance debacle.

Each service centre has a different explanation: Casting pits from the foam core process have now become glue defects. And the pixie dust is what? Smoke and mirrors now? Logically anyone with the “debris” issue would see no difference once the lense is returned from service if the fault lies with the treatment of the ground element circumference which I believe has never been seen in any other lense on the market. Right now I believe some Google translations more than what’s coming out of Nikon.

I too wish Nikon would GOYA, issue a release and then give customers the option of their money back. I too am tired of the whole issue, especially reading some damn stupid comments about it on the various net forums. A lot of the “Fan-persons” have really outdone themselves on this one.

What I really didn’t want to read this morning is that my 3 year old TC1.7 is being replaced so soon. I’ve been waiting 10 years for a 300 f4 VR tele. What a wacko company.

Hey, thanks for that.! I still can’t afford to buy the lens, but it’s nice to know that if my D90 has any issues while under warranty, that Nikon will give the whole body a good once-over if I need to send it in.

Very good words all round.

Thanks, and also thanks again to NR Admin for keeping us apprised of “all things Nikon…. ”

Now back to dreaming about my FF purchase this year!

+1 With luck there might be some downward pressure on price for us.

@ [NR]admin

I was actually surprised to see the name of Michael Weber mentioned because i just was with him on the 16th of January. He had come down to give a course on sports photography and his amazing works in gymnastics really impressed me.

I had asked about upgrade of D700 which mentioned that he cannot reveal the details. but when i had asked if i should wait until February , he said that its better to wait as there is a new camera coming .

I guess iam that new 85mm 1.4 might be in the production line. And yes hes German who works for independent agencies.

I guess i was lucky to meet this great photographer had a lovely but long day

Are you sure the lens wasnt fixed for some other damages/faults? Maybe there is another problem we dont even know about (yet)

A plausible typo scenario would involve a misguided autoreplace-script.
OTOH it would make sense to have the same version numbering, if only to avoid questions about why the TC2.0 needed a replacement and the others not.
Updated optics, a few additional unit sold and a higher initial price may be considered fringe benefits.

All we need then is a Nikon DSLR that shoots 1080p

Good one! How did you get the update dates? I could not find anything in the cached pages.

similar typo mistake for the TC-14E III than TC-17E III, the first has been updated Jan 14th 2010 and the second Jan 9th, 2010. Don’t hope this will count for a lens update and that we’ll see true lenses the next month!
