Wow. Makes the AI-S 35 f/1.4 look pretty attractive IMO!

Yes, if you can get it.
The last one on eBay I've seen it (35/1.4) at around AU$350.00, very good buy.
Better than you buy shares isn't it?

Birddog114 - not of interest for me.

Savings for something longer, and purchase well down the track :(

They must be working on an AFS version.

I find it strange that Nikon are willing to leave a hole in their fast WA lens line up.

But having said that, I own one, so i'm happy. And will be happy to upgrade...

Buy it now as glass investment and sell it at the right time for the 300mm AF-S VR.

Quite frankly it's a very overpriced piece of glass and not worth the money unless you have a very narrow, specific use for it.

Matt.K,
Same as the Noct 58/1.2, anything becomes rare then it'll become overpriced, like your Volvo :shock: :lol:
