New expensive lens from Nikon

Nikon Announces Development of 800mm Super Telephoto Lens

Nikon Inc. has announced the development of a new 800mm Super Telephoto lens with Vibration Reduction and fast Silent Wave Focusing. This is fully compatible with both DX and FX DSLR Models, and  obviously, it has been designed with sports, news and wildlife photographers in mind.

This is a serious Nikkor lens that's both dust and water resistant, and will be shown to Professional Photographers at the upcoming Open Golf Championship at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England, between July 19th and 22nd 2012. Nikon has been an official sponsor since 1993. We shall see if it will replace those white body lenses by Canon Inc. favored by most sport pros. Once Nikon was the only game in town.
