[QUOTE="stmv, post: 79821, member: 10038"] well,, for me,, my lens collection is pretty complete, so only some exotics like the 50mm 1.2 that I just got used holds my attention. Perhaps I would like a new pro zoom, but their current bulk is so un-inviting. If Nikon would update the 35-70 and keep the size to that classic, then I would be so tempted, so,, and don't bother with VR, that just adds bulk, and keep the focus external to keep the form factor small (again SMALL, LIGHT, ULTRA HIGH QUALITY ZOOM). Nikon,, design a 28-80 2,8,, and keep the size to the 37-70, the filter size no larger then 67, 62 would be better, and with modern materials, 2/3 the weight of the old 35-70, and that will be a lens I won't be able to resist (oh, and better optics, and almost zero distortion). After all their lens design, how hard could it be? [/QUOTE]
