The good news: the 24mm f/1.4 and 16-35mm f/4 VR lenses are coming.
The bad news: I don’t have an exact date for this announcement. As far as I know, there is no press conference scheduled for this release next week. The new products can be out as early as tomorrow and as late as Wednesday night. Previous patterns suggests the release should be on Wednesday, February 10th CET (or Tuesday midnight, US eastern time) – exactly a week after the Coolpix announcements.
The rumor is that some German retailers could already place orders for those two lenses. The expected retail availability is end of March, 2010.
New teleconverters are still with a low possibility (80% chance).
