Can't think why we'd need a new one when the current one is just perfection Dave :confused: :cool:

The only sensible thing they could have done - upgrade the AF speed - they haven't - typical Nikon.

$7k - that's a hefty price tag even for the US isn't it..?

Yep i wont be swapping mine out for a while, The Nano coating should help with flare as Phil Shaw mentioned in his Fox post, Better VR is always a nice thing to have as is the A/M button for certain instances but other than that it looks the same lens, There are reposrts that the 200-400 isnt soo good at distance, I havent found this as i dont really use it for that and as far as i can see they havent tried to sort the sharpness at distance out-very expensive but what new camera gear isnt
