And the new one gets the first delays. I wonder if Nikon underestimated the demand or did manage to make another design flaw?


Bojan, did you also take a closer look at the VR? On the new 300/4 PF E it turned out to be a big flaw and still is. Some exposure times will cause motion blur. I still want to compare that lens and the Sigma Sports in terms of VR. Although Sigma has to pay a penalty for copying the Nikon VR it appears theirs is doing the better job.


So maybe the same could be with Tamron's and Nikon's versions of 24-70? I don't want to blame Nikon but at this price it has to be the best and for what I see, I don't find any good reason to pay three times what I paid for the 24-105/4 which is superb in terms of VR.

I have to re-examine the test photos for VR but as I remember VR Work ok. to 1/10s on 70mm, a longer time than this were more questionable. I did not have time to test VR in detail, most of the time I shoot without VR, this segment It should be tested carefully.

 

Yes it is little unusual that Nikon delays shipment of this lens... I hope that they didnt notice potencial problems with lens after they read the review. It would be very strange... and lens is huge... bigest ever in this range for FX cameras...
