Dang Nikon is just firing off a ton of new gear!  Actually not a bad price on this lens.  Considering a 70-200mm will run you nearly $2900.  This is a pretty decent deal.

Not really a deal but a competitive price for a great glass!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

For a 500mm prime?  Isn't the f/2.8's something like $6400?

There's no such thing as a Nikon 500mm f/2.8 prime. The 500mm f/4 runs $10,300. Or there's a 400mm f/2.8, at $12,300.

All of this information is quickly found at Nikon USA

Looks like a winner with the size and weight.

To me, that's a lot for such a slow lens....

Why so serious?
