It is time that Nikon obsoleted the screw focus lenses. What a better way to do it than come up with a cheap FF camera!No internal AF motor it says -- which would be stupid and make it a non-starter for me. Assuming it has an internal AF motor and better high ISO than the D800, it becomes a GREAT 2nd body option

With new lenses (28/1.8 AFS, for example) being released, it does not seem to be a problem.
If I look at myself, I would have to replace the 50 and 85mm f/1.8. Although that's not a fortune, it would cover part of the distance up to the D800. For those with more expensive AF and AF D lenses, it may soon become rather costly, and some lenses (105, 135 and 180) don't even have an AF-S equivalent.>No internal AF motor it says -- which would be stupid and make it a non-starter for me.
What lenses do you want to use that have AF but are not AF-S?
My 105DC for one --->No internal AF motor it says -- which would be stupid and make it a non-starter for me.

Have you been shooting your 105DC on D800 ? any picture here if you have ? and if, how does it perform - thanks..My 105DC for one ---

Yes, posted two with the 105DC earlier in the D800 glass thread, one showing bokeh, the other showing zeroed (sharp) performance.Have you been shooting your 105DC on D800 ? any picture here if you have ? and if, how does it perform - thanks..
I will take a look at the samples you posted. Thanks.Yes, posted two with the 105DC earlier in the D800 glass thread, one showing bokeh, the other showing zeroed (sharp) performance.

Vivek, I use AF on my DC all the time, even with two clicks of right soft dialed in -- the focus point itself does not change except at very close distances (like under 1 m). Set up that way, it works great on the D800. So yes, I'd prefer NOT losing that feature.

Dave, well said. But I understand Nikon's perspective.
