Nikon announces three new lenses

I received an email today in which Nikon announced three new lenses. One looks pretty interesting, a 10-20mm DX zoom, f4.5-5.6. It's small, only 8.2 oz. (230 grams). Of course, you're sacrificing speed over the Tokina 10-16mm f2.8. There's also a AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E ED lens and a fisheye zoom, AF-S NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED.

Were the prices listed? The 10-20mm does sound interesting. Canon has an inexpensive 10-18mm that is popular among Canon crop sensor owners.

$306 sound good?

Thanks for the link. $306 does sound good. I finally ordered, and just received, the Nikon DX version, 35mm f1.8 prime lens for a price of $197, brand new from B&H.
