Any Sign of a new 24-70mm?

9 years 1 month ago #431468 by JeremyS
Hey everyone, 

I'm shopping around for a Nikon 24-70 at some point and I was wondering if people think this lens may be getting update in the next two years. I would hate to buy the lens just to have it updated on me shortly afterwards. What are your suspicions or the rumors you are hearing about this?

Cheers! :)

I would not worry about it too much Jeremy. As a general rule lens upgrades, or revisions are way longer than body upgrades. Just look at how long it took them to come out with the new and improved 80-400 VR. Thom Hogan was predicting it for many years to no avail. This lens also is not that old. If anything they would take one of the old manual focus lenses that are not auto focus, and convert them first, before you see them making another version of a newer lens.

It may have been on Facebook, but someone pointed to a recently filed patent application (from Nikon) for a 24-70 lens. The implication was that we'll be seeing a new version pretty soon.

I'd wait a while, if I were you.

It might be hard to improve the almost perfect lens, but many will need it if the camera  sensors continue to improve....;)

Why so serious?

That lens is crazy! I think we need a new emoticon of a jaw hitting the floor.

Ofcourse the news comes one month after I purchase my Tamron 24-70mm. 

Same happened with my D800 purchase, shortly afterwards D810 announced. Oh how impeccable my timing is.

I see the filter size is up to 82mm. Another bloody adapter ring.
