Per-order New Nikon Lens

For about $2,700, you can pre-order Nikon's new 80-400mm lens. That's quite a spread.

Yep, I'd have to sell my Sigma 50-500mm and that would really suck!

Wait for the grey market one. I bought a brand new grey 70-300 mm Nikkor from Adorama 4.5-5.6 for about 139$ and checked its performance against my 80-200 mm Nikkor 2.8. The difference was imperceptible, except maybe if you blew it up to 18x24. The mark-ups on lenses are obviously enormous. You're paying triple for a U.S. warranty which you'll probably never need. M.L.

Suggest that you wait for reviews. The New 28-300 has distortion though out its range according to some.

You could have bought if for $119.00 at B&H and I'm just going to guess that's what you paid at Adorama as well. Generally you'll only save about 10% buying grey market over USA. As for your 70-300mm it come's in a couple configurations and the one you chose is the entry level version. Nothing wrong with that but you just need to be aware of the differences when comparing prices. You may have compared yours with the ED G VRII version which goes for closer to $600.

I've read the specs on the Nikon home site AND I use to have the old version which has an aperature ring. The new version is a "G" lens which does NOT have the aperature ring.
If you look on the Nikon site they still show BOTH versions. (As of yesterday, when I checked it out)
