Another month has passed, though this time I'm able to remove a couple of items from my Waiting for Nikon List (lower portion of left column). The GP-1 is now priced and in the pipeline, and should arrive in stores shortly, so I've removed it. It's life on th list was short--three months. Not on the list but also now shipped and already in some stores, is the DC-2 remote cable for the D90.
I'm also going to remove the 50mm f/1.4G, as I understand that it, too, is now in the pipeline moving from warehouse to distribution. While the High Resolution FX body comes off the list, we now will put on the list the D700 equivalent (Small High Res FX body).
One also has to wonder whether some of the items on the list will ever appear. The 17-35mm has been discontinued, but it is possible that Nikon thinks that the 14-24 plus 24-70 fill that gap. They would be wrong if they think that. There's strong need for something in the 16-18 at the wide end, 28-35 at the long end, so anything from a 16-28mm f/2.8 to an 18-35mm f/4 would be a welcome addition. I'm leaving the 17-35mm redesign on the wait list.
