It is an entirely new design, where the filter thread has gone up from 62 to 67mm. That is part of the reason. The other reason is the "new" family design from Nikon, with AF-S ring motor and wide barrel which make it bigger.

Thanks far you contribution. Is there a reason for the larger filter? A 85/1.8 should be ok with a 52 or 55 mm filter. This is not a retro focus WA after all. Perhaps I spent to much life with rangefinder cameras though. I dislike large lenses.
