Looks like Nikon's got a new 300mm with a new designation that I haven't seen before: Phase Fresnel (PF) Lens Element

Good link Mike! Is that (PF) a new designation? Or have I just not seen it before??

Apparently PF (Phase Fresnel) has been used on Nikon microscopes, but this may be the first iteration in DSLR lenses for them. I've been digging to find more about it too the last few days.
