Nikon today announced a brand new version of the AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II. This new version includes a 4-stop image stabilization system where the last version was only a 3-stop. At the same time , a brand new 2x teleconverter has been announced that contains new aspherical lens elements for greatly improved optical performance. These 2 new additions to the line will be available in January , just in time for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver where I would expect to see a lot of these lenses in use with the new Nikon D3s.
Amazon already has the lens up for pre-order and I would expect demand from professionals to be reasonably high at their introduction.
Recommended pricing is US$5899.95 for the lens and US$499.95 for the TC-20EIII
