I'm guessing this is for the crowd that would be using the D400 which is rumored to be coming out shortly.

That makes sense... I was hoping that they'd come out with one of those for FX too

Wow...If I were sticking with DX, I'd buy one of these in a heart beat over the Sigma 30 1.4!

Crap, I should've help out for the D400 then....haha

Also, in regards to this post, maybe this will be the lens that replaces my 50/1.8 for dark ride photography

The price isn't half bad either!

I tried to find the price. Where did yo find it?

The USA dealer MSRP is $199.95.

What's most interesting is that this wasn't on the radar of any of the rumor sites...makes me wonder what else could be next!

I'm guessing either the 24 or 35/1.4G. Canon just updated their 24 recently. Nikon's old one on the used market catches more than the old retail price.

That price is really reasonable. I could justify that

Last year I agonized between Canon and Nikon and finally went with Canon and bought a 40D. The D300 was around $500 more at the time, but with big release after big release I am starting to have Nikon envy!
