but why ?

Wrong question. but why not?

why not - look at the other gaps !!!

[I @ M]

but why ?

Easy answer, so millions of owners of the existing model can dump their "old" ones onto the s/h market at "bargain" prices and then rush out and buy the new one to have the latest and greatest.

Since when has common sense stood in the way of a lens purchase?

I just bought my wife a diamond pendant, I wonder if I have earned enough "lens purchase points"?

For some reason I don't get points for routine chores:confused013

Nikon Rumors lists the lens as available lat May 2010 at US$6,999

So I guess we will see it slightly higher than the existing [old] model

I didn't think this lens warranted an update! :confused013

hows that for left of field!
