You should be able to get an additional 20% off the above price with coupon code clearout20 (I have not tried the code).
Without going into details since I don’t want anyone to get in trouble, a professional photographer recently made a public statement that the Nikon D6 will be available for testing in February.

→ Harvard researchers found a way to correct chromatic aberrations across all kinds of lenses.

So then I decided to cross-check every lens, and I found all of the following (in addition to the ones above) are no longer on the Japan website:
