Сейчас это еще эксклюзив. Когда пойдут массовые поставки цена устаканится.
Но чтобы зум-ширик второй линейки, пусть и очень хороший, стоил больше чем 14-24/2,8 - только руками развести остается. Это просто издержки отечественной торговли: памятная еще по советским временам тема "дефицита".

4) Lens sharpness and contrast
I won't talk much about lens sharpness - you can see the image samples in the next several pages. One thing I will say, however, is that this lens is one of the sharpest lenses I have ever held in my hands - I was stunned by its performance. This lens performs so well at f/4.0, that you wouldn't want to shoot it at higher apertures, unless you need to increase the depth of field. The lens performs extremely well throughout the range, but just a little worse towards the longer end. Color and contrast are truly amazing and top of the class.
Оказывается, линза просто замечательная?
Хотя в комментах пишут, что тесты на photozone выполнялись на D3x, а на данном сайте - на D700 - отсюда и различия в резкостных характеристиках. То есть получается, что матрицу D3/700 этот объектив превосходно разрешает уже на открытой дырке, и должен разочаровать только владельцев шибкомногопиксельных камер.
На всякий случай цитата:
I have just checked out the Photozone review of the lens and I have a few notes:
1) All of their tests were performed on a Nikon D3x body and mine were done on a D700, so there is a difference in resolution.
2) My tests are on par with Nikon’s MTF charts, which clearly show that the Nikon 16-35mm f/4.0 VR is better than the Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D lens on both wide and telephoto ends.
3) Photozone’s MTF numbers look horribly bad and I believe they had a bad sample of the lens. If you read Nikon MTF numbers, the Nikon 16-35mm should perform incredibly well in the center and worse on the edges (but still better than 17-35mm).
4) I provide real image crops from the corners to prove my point and they only supply a chart. It would be nice to see some real image samples from their rigorous tests.
5) Both the Nikon 16-35mm and the Nikon 17-35mm lenses in my tests are brand new and have never been used before the tests. My 24-70mm has been heavily used and has some dust in the rear element of the lens, which could be the reason why I had a loss of contrast in the corners.
ну потом не забудь отчитаться! ширик у никона многим интересно...
тот же 14-24 там стоит дешевле на 3 тысячи. это у Никона теперь новый топовый сверхширик, 14-24 уходит на второй план...
