This is great for D40, D40X, and D60 people, but for anyone with AF motors built in, not really that great. For a few dollars more you can get the 35mm f/2 which is better built, and will work when you move up to a FX body. I know, I know the focal view is different, but still... For $200 it might be something nice to play around with and keep on the backup body we'll see...
As a D40 user, I have to say that this is a really appealing lens to me...Now just to find out how much this is going to cost in Canada...
I'd agree with that, stop limiting what lens that you can fully useThe better question would be how much can you get for your D40, and how much can you get a D90 for...
Nice lens - it's on my list!
It is the opinion of my local Nikon dealer that Nikon is dividing their range, future crop sensor bodies will not have the focus motor built in. Most new lenses will be DX with the motor in the lens. Only full frame camera bodies will have focus motors built in.
I wonder how accurate his predictions are?
It's worth noting that that all DX lenses except for the DX fisheye are AF-S.Most new lenses will be DX with the motor in the lens.
Possibly, but I think what Nikon is looking at doing is only releasing new lenses which have an AF-S motor. I would say that you may be right though.
How would introducing newer, better, faster lenses annoy Nikon users? It seems to me that a Nikon user should enjoy new and improved lenses just as much as a Canon user or anyone else does.I'm pretty sure that Nikon does want to phase out their old AF system because many of their lenses are still decades behind Canon's in AF performance and ergonomics, but it will be quite a number of years before they can do it without ticking off a large portion of their professional user base.
Because many Nikon users have AF-D type lenses whose optics are perfectly good and whose AF is perfectly acceptable for their use. It would be pretty annoying to have a large collection of AF-D lenses only to have their AF systems suddenly deprecated.How would introducing newer, better, faster lenses annoy Nikon users?
Not silly at all. As explained by Nikon themselves, making it a DX lens allows it to be smaller, lighter and cheaper. It's a lot more attractive to a lot more people at $200 than it would be at $1000.I really don't understand why they made it DX. should have been simply AF-S G.. it's not like the FX version would have a tighter field of view. a little silly, really. I'll take that all back if they announce the 35/1.4 AF-S G next week.
