5 New Nikon Products – July 1st? D3x, D700/D10, AFS 45mm,85mm f/2.8 Lenses?
LOTS of rumors swirling. When we get LOTS of rumor, we tend to see a real product reasonably soon…
…
Two new DSLR cameras; there are two options:
a) a successor to D80 + a new high res FX camera (a la D3x) or
b) a succsessor to D80 + a new FX camera in a smaller body (a la D10/D700)
Can’t say which it will be; dunno.Two of the other three items are expected to be the remaining two PC-Nikkors; 45/2.8 and 85/2.8. Which is supposed to be the third item remains unknown, but it surely won’t be a newly developed kit lens for the D10/D700 – the latter will initially be sold with the already-known AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR.
What I wrote above is not all 100%, but these “facts” are; release date July 1st, 5 items, 2 DSLR cameras.
How do I know? Can’t and won’t say, but it is true.
Guess the primes are tilt/shifts… not on my list.

I think the 45 and the 85 are the previously announced TS PC-E lenses, which means they’re manual and not AF-S. According to that leaked brochure, the 85 is a micro, which I don’t think was announced previously, but it makes sense because the old manual 85 PC is a micro.
But I am wondering what the other lenses are.
