Bro I think other than Nikon themselves, no other people own the lens yet. I guess have to wait a few more months. I will be getting it once available
 

They started shipping now in US and Europe. Hope they will have soon here. Can't wait to have this lens for D800

Bro what do you mean need to pay premium? They sell higher than RRP?

The RRP is 699.99 not available stock :)
 



Did I see purple fringing here? Can someone verify?

Saw it in Tokyo Yodobashi - launched yesterday. Forgot the price, in the range of $1200 IIRC.

If Sg selling too expansive the only saving is but from amazon.
 

Hi,

looked really good except for the fringing noticed.
 

Anyone know when we can see this on shelves?
 

I asked Nikon staffs when I went there last week, they also don't know :(

Anyway I think DD price is not bad, now waiting for stock to come in to TG and pricing before deciding which to buy from.
 

All lens fringe wide open at high contrast highlights area.

The above fringing looks minor and acceptable, looks like a good performer.

Yeah, I am normally not bothered by that too :) just wanna ask for confirmation. This is already in my list, but dunno have to wait for how long :(
 

Currently using a copy from USA. its a really good lens.
