He is a little late to the party I think.
This one was busted a couple of months ago.

f**k how can You review lens that doesn't exist... I've stopped reading KR blog some time ago, but his recent activities reminds me this kiwi guy from YouTube, that was using D3 as a hammer

Monty11, Ken reviewed a lens that doesn't exist yet! Don't worry about the price :)
Remember, in Ken's world money has little or no value. Real currency is like tokens from an amusement park to him.

The price tag according to the rumour is quite heavy considering that it is f/4 and compared to the 14-24 f/2.8 it is a full $1000 more expensive.

Only Ken can because he's the Chuck Norris of photography!

yeh I was wondering ... how can u review something if its still 'rumor' ?

Wow he already "reviewed" it and gave it 5 stars for mechanics and usefulness, but only 4stars for optics and ergonomics! He then gives it 5stars overall. Nikon loves this guy :)

rumor from KR thats something new ... cant remember him posting things like that
