I received a confirmation from one of my sources that next week for CES Nikon will announce the previously rumored AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC 1.4 FL ED VR lens. Nokishita also confirmed the new lens on Twitter. There will be also two new accessories: HK-41 (lens hood) and LC-K103 (front lens cap).
The pricing is still not known, but this lens will not be cheap – I expect to be around $9,00-$10,000 maybe even more (the current Nikkor 200-400mm model is $6,996.95, while the new Canon 200-400 lens with TC is priced at 10,999).

This also pretty much confirms my previous report that there will not be a new Nikon D5s DSLR camera announced at CES (unless Nikon has some very well kept secrets like the D500 two years ago).
