2011 Thom Hogan predictions

Intended for my reference.

  • A 80-400mm f/4-5.6 replacement, with AF-S and a new optical design.
  • A 70-200mm f/4 addition.
  • A long Micro-Nikkor: may not be 200mm. Nikon may try to kill two birds with one stone again by making it 180mm and faster than f/4.
  • 50mm f/1.2G. Why? I don't know.
  • A 24-70mm replacement. I'm guessing 24-105mm f/2.8 VR, and announced with the D4. This is an aggressive prediction as I've specified it. But the main prediction is being unnoticed: 24-70mm replacement. I don't think Nikon will sit on 24-70mm and just do something like add VR. I believe they'll take the opportunity to push the specs a bit. You can read that any way you'd like (22-70mm, 24-85mm, or my 24-105mm).
