The current Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G lens ($696.95)
A quick update to my post from earlier today: Nikon is rumored to announce a new Nikkor 28mm f/1.4 lens.
I do not have an exact date for the announcement yet, but Monday is an official US holiday and Nikon never introduces new products on Fridays – this leaves us with Tuesday or Wednesday night as the potential announcement times.
Nikon already has a Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G lens that is currently priced at 696.95 (pictured above). I expect the new 28mm f/1.4 lens to be over $1,000.
In June, Nikon is also expected to announce the price and availability of the 100 years commemorative products that were introduced in April.

I already reported that Nikon is rumored to announce five new Nikkor lenses this year. I also reported that we will see an ultra wide angle and/or a fisheye lens (probably a 10-20mm DX lens to compete with the Canon 10-18mm and Sigma 10-20mm).
I can now confirm that Nikon will have a new products announcement as early as next week. I was told that this will be mainly a lens announcement. There could also be a new Coolpix camera announced (replacements for the Coolpix AW130 and P900 cameras are expected).
I do not expect a new DSLR or a mirrorless camera.
Stay tuned for additional information – there could be a surprise that I have not yet reported here on the blog.

Update #2: the second lens will be Nikkor AF-S 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED fisheye
