LOL !!!
... but the first two lenses that Nikon IMHO REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY should make, would be:
10-16mm f/4.5-5.6 - cheap wide angle lens of high quality, as answer to Canons EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS, the lens I keep mentioning as the one advantage of Canon over Nikon
24mm f1.8 or f1.4 - 35mm equivalent as the most important focal length for prime lens fans
And thats interestingly what Hogan did NOT mention. He only wants some bright f/4 or better 10-16mm zoom and some dark pancake 24mm. Why ? I have no clue.
Well, thats easy: none at all, because I no longer have a DX DSLR.Please note that the following poll is for DX lenses. I’ve tried to build a set of choices that are the DX equivalents of common FX lenses up through mild telephoto, where the DX image circle size advantage begins to disappear and you might as well use an FX lens. Yes, I know you can’t see the results to this poll after you vote. I’ll present the results after the poll concludes on Thursday. Please think carefully about your answer, and note that you only get one chance to vote. Vote for as many as you’d actually buy.
Which of these DX lenses would you buy if produced by Nikon?
10-16mm f/4 (or faster)
12mm f/2.8 (or faster)
12-24mm f/4 replacement
14mm f/2.8 (or faster)
16mm f/2 (or faster)
16-50mm f/2
17-50mm f/2.8 replacement with VR
24mm f/2.8 pancake
35mm f/1.4
35mm f/2.8 pancake
50-135mm f/2.8
50-135mm f/4
58mm f/1.8 (or faster)
Wide angle Tilt-Shift lens
