New Nikon DX lens

by | Feb 9, 2009 | News | 1 comment

Nikon announced a new 35mm f1.8 DX lens today. (corrected. Thanks Jonathan)

I am sure this will be a really sharp lens and with a $199.95 price tag, it will sell well. I won’t be picking one up since I already use a 35mm f2.0 Nikkor lens on a FX body.

What this does signal to me is the continued commitment Nikon has to the DX format and I now believe that the next camera to be released will be the D400 and it will be a DX sensor camera, a replacement for the D300 and the older D200, not a baby brother to the D700.

    Alan,

    Just a clarification – the new DX lens is a 35mm f/1.8, not f/1.4 as you indicated.

    Thanks for the blog!
