Eyewitness report (thanks AK, photo by MTW):
I was at the PDN (PhotoPlus Expo) show yesterday, and they were exhibiting the new Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4. However, they said that the lens they were showing was a prototype, not a production model, so they requested that people not take home any images from it.
If they don’t have a production model yet, that suggests (a) they won’t be shipping real soon, and (b) they may be wanting to change something about the lens before they ship it.
Also, they still have no idea about price or delivery date for the GP-1. They did not even have a demo unit.
Finally, I overheard one Nikon rep telling someone “Expect new cameras early next year.”
If you have any stories or pictures from the show and you would liket to share them, please contact [NR].
