Nikon introduces 24-70mm F2.8 VR, 24mm F1.8 and 200-500 F5.6 FX lenses. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/6268500488/nikon-introduces-24-70mm-f2-8-vr-24mm-f1-8-and-200-500-f5-6-fx-lenses Pricing and availability for the three lenses is as follows: AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8E ED VR - $2399 in late August AF-S Nikkor 24mm F1.8G ED - $749.95 in mid-September AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm F5.6E ED VR - $1399.95 in mid-September The new 200-500 f5.6 looks nice but then again so is the price, I think I might be tempted to trade my 400mm f2.8 AFS for one of them and an XT1 body.

Interesting 200-500 wonder how it compares with my 80-400mm? Let me know if you are parting with your 400mm I could be interested if price is good!

I will probably release the 400mm in October when I come across to UK. It is 400mm f2.8 ED AFS but no VR. I am unconvinced that VR is useful on long telephotos as I will frequently use it on a tripod so the VR must be switched off for tripod use. Also then Fuji come out with their 100-400mm I will possibly get that for my XT1.

The 200-500 looks very interesting, it may be the one thing that might bring me back to Nikon.

That was in the back of my mind when I bought the D7200 Jonathan.

Primes also have shortcomings, even though they are sharper etc. Zooms fill the frame more often and avoid losses from cropping. Just try a moon shot with an 85mm Zeiss and crop the moon to 200mm immage.

I got the impression that Graham's 80-400 was 'falling short' due to max aperture limitations and speed of focus as well as reach....hence buying the 500mm prime.
