LOL!

Do you really think the original poster “ThomasMiller” at dpreview.com is legit?
“ThomasMiller” is being known to be the main troll account of a guy named Rober E. Brody from Carmel, NY in the USA.
Other dpreview troll accounts of him are “Brian Coles”, “precisionshot”, “Buttes Keeper”, “lordofnikon”, “armando amayo”, “ThomasH_always”, “EricIsDerek”, “touristguy87″, “Bobsprit”, “captRob”, “captRB”, …

So do you think you can trust a proven and excessive liar like Brody???

The key is that whatever they announce only serves to inform us of the roadmap, since it will be months before any of it hits retail. As far as I know, not a single 500 or 600mm VR lens has ever found its way to B&H yet. And they don’t yet list the new 50mm (although some other retailers do have it available for preorder.)

But I agree that a new 85mm makes more sense to have first than a new 35mm.

Having said all that, there’s no reason to think anyone on a retail floor knows anything about what’s coming. Head buyer for B&H? Maybe. Salesperson on the floor? No way. They’re probably getting info from sites like this one.

LOL!

The poster you refer to is a major internet troll and one of the biggest trolls on dpreview. com for *years*!
His name is Robert E. Brody from Carmel, NY in the USA and known for excessive lying. He posts under a variety of accounts at dpreview, not only under his main troll account “ThomasMiller” but also under “Brian Coles, “armando amayo”, “ThomasH_always”, “EricIsDerek”, “touristguy87″,
“Bobsprit”, “captRob”, “captRB”, …

So make up your own mind how likely to be true a post from him is…(hint: Look waaaay down below the “0″ mark!)
