borgis_karl_johan Posted August 8, 2000 Share Posted August 8, 2000 ...anybody heard any rumours why the above-mentioned lens doesn4t seem to reach the market? I believe it was announced for late spring! Technical problems or some marketing scheme? <p> Karl Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_weber Posted August 8, 2000 Share Posted August 8, 2000 The original Nikon PR for the US said August, so it's not late yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_smith. Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 Nikon probably couldn't copy Canon's image stabilizer design in good time, even after all these years, so be patient. It will take a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_smith. Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Nick, announcing it is all very fine, but we have been waiting for it since the beginning of this year, when the pre-production test lens was showcased and reviewed by Moose Peterson (was it him?) It is already approaching September, and there is nothing. It appears as if they have some glitches to iron out, and it is taking a hell of a long time, and at this rate, I don't expect to see this lens out very soon.
