Here is the translation :

E lenses (not to be confused with the ancient ones) mean electromagnetic diaphragm. All Nikkor AF lenses use mechanical actuated diaphragm blades. The electromagnetic diaphragm get rid of that for a more precise control of the lens especially during burst. It is a transitional way to Nikon to get rid of some mechanical stuff inside DSLR bodies. I think it is a way to Nikon to move Mirror-less soon.

If this is true, I'm in. Good thing that I still have the D300. The D2Xs and F6 aren't compatible other than wide open. I can see myself shooting portraits with this using the F6 and Pan F Plus 50 though.

Thanks, Hulyss. Maybe an English translation soon?

Added. Found a little more info - will be announced this week. For FF, no VR. What's the difference between an "E" lens and a "G" lens?
The PC-E lenses had them. Identical to the EOS lenses only in F mount.

It saves money for Nikon.

I am glad to see this lens from Nikon. Looks delicious. :)

This is for sure a marvelous lens!

For me too heavy and large, but it is a special purpose lens.

Wonder how many they will sell ....

They will sell one to me... as soon as I can afford it. 105mm on FX and 158mm eqv. on DX mostly cover my travel telephoto needs. I just decided (for the umpteenth time) to keep my Zeiss 21mm, and those two primes plus the 24-120mm to cover everything between would probably be a great travel setup. The question is: another D810 or something new and revolutionary that will be launched at Photokina.

Well, I am getting interested in this lens. Especially instead of a 1.4/85G, that is almost as expensive. And combining it with the 1.4/58 this might give a great combo and both stunning glass. One more reason to stay in Nikon FF territory (with my D810).

WRT something new at PK2016 - I do not see anything coming, also no D820 or whatever that would be called. I had hope myself they would launch something revolutionary, but I think we still have to stick with the D810 for some more time. Not a bay camera at all though :cool:

Ooh, what a wonderful Xmas präsent!

I'm really interested in this Lens - could be a stunning successor to the old legendary 105mm AiS.

Thanks for Posting this info. :clap::clap:

Thank you for posting the photos Hulyss. This looks like a must have. Not only does it offer unique opportunities, but transitions and general rendering look fantastic as well. This also means that I should buy a D810 again. Looks like I will get a couple of great Christmas gifts from myself this year :D
