Good one! I am still a bit disappointed on the lenses selection.
Few months ago there were rumors that Nikon was working on 3 lenses - Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AF-S, Nikon 85mm f/1.4 AF-S. No Vibration Reduction on both of them. They just died down. We’ll still see them, but seems like the priorities had changed.
Also, with this prosumer Nikon D700 FX, they need to update the Nikon 80-400 VR with AF-S. From what I’m hearing we may be pleasantly surprised.
