- new lenses from nikon -

nikon just launched 3 new lenses, from different type. all around, micro, pc

for cheap, quality, all around they have AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. I thought this would replace older 18-70mm as a kit for amateur DSLR camera. This lens for DX format only!

for people who like to shoot fly’s eye, AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED, replace old brother AF Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D. VR and AFS added will be nice touch from nikon, because old AF Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D, lack of focusing-speed. This lens can be used in FX and DX format with 1.5 crop factor, so it will be 90mm by crop.
