What do they say is the 'trinity' (sorry but that is the most overused word in the world when discussing lenses)? Let's see, there is the 16-35, 24-120, 70-200, and 200-400. That makes four and a trinity is not four.

Here's a shot with the 24-70 using live view, D800. I'm still liking this 24-70 a lot. I'm hoping to go back out today with my 105mm and play some more with live view. Are you using MF on the 24-70?

They don't include the 200-400. =] Cover every possibility Build an exceptional f/4 zoom system The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR brings the telephoto zoom range to Nikon's high-performance f/4 fixed aperture zoom lenses. Pair it with either the ultra-wide-angle to standard AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4F ED VR or the wide-angle to telephoto AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR, and you'll be able to cover an extremely broad focal length range with f/4 speed, superior image quality and a compact, lightweight lens system.

That's going to be a big selling point for the 70-200 f/4, the 70-200 f/2.8 can make your arms sore shooting all day but if the f/4 is comparable to the Canon f/4 IS even I could walk around all day shooting it.

Yeah, the 200-400mm is more of a loner lens rather than one that would be carried around with a bunch of others due to its size and weight.

If the Nikon 70-200mm f/4 is anywhere near Canon's they'll have a hit on their hands. I've only ever used Canon's Mk I that didn't have IS, but that lens was stellar wide open and people say the IS version is even better. I've read that before about the Canon 70-200 f/4. I owned both lenses and they were both fantastic, if there was any difference in IQ I couldn't spot it. The big advantage was the IS, I could shoot the IS version at 200mm/1/60s and see no shake at all.

Oct 24, 2012 11:28 | #8863 Oh yeah, I had the 105mm long before I got the 24-70. So far I haven't been disappointed in any of the Nikon lenses I've gotten.

K6AZ Cream of the Crop More info | Here's another shot taken with the Nikon 18-35, no distortion correction. I'm now officially on the prowl for a 16-35 VR or 17-35.
