If you NPS you have priority. One of the perks of NPS. So after the NPS orders are fulfilled, other orders will begin being fulfilled.


And if you're a hardcore Nikon fan and suffer from some serious NAS and GAS, you get the lens before Nikon even designs it.

I'm wanting my 105mm.... I was looking online (google images) I was able to see new photos of this lens, love that large front element!!! I can't wait to test this on astrophotography, mainly the Milky Way and the Andromeda area. F/2.8 has to be fantastic looking. The 26th seems far away. I just have to keep my mind on work and not think about the gap between now and the 26th.

The photos may not be new for all of you:

I thought the 85 was huge... the 105 dwarfs it on those photos!

Yeah it does... But I think there may be a little bit of perspective going on as well. Semi-wide lens took that shot and the 105 is closest to the camera. Either way, the 105 is wider (diameter) than the 85 is long! Still dwarfs it like you said.

You're right, that 105 f1.4 is one big muther!

I love Petal hoods! I think it makes the lens look better.

I have yet to see a single example of the lens mounted with a hood attached.
I REALLY hope the lens hood will be somewhat in line with the lens body, like the 50G, 58G, 85G and not like the new 35mm f/1.8G FX where you can see the v-shaped space in between tle hood and lens body. (shown below, not my image)

It's going to be the round hood, just like the one for the 85mm. It was included with the photos of the 105, just not attached.

Does anyone think that this new 105mm is going to require firmware updates? I know some of the new lenses do and they have to be sent to Nikon to get done. I hope this is not the case. It may not since it does that have vibration reduction on it...

Gorgeous rendering and incredibly sharp. But, for a plastic lens thats is cheaply made in China it is way too expensive. Not to mention, parts will only be available for 10 years. Can't wait to see where the new 70-200 is made.

Why do you even care where a lens is made?

Have you experienced any quality control issues with the 105mm f1.4? I have not seen any problem with my copy.

I care about the value I get and this drives how much I am willing to pay for an item. I don't find the 105mm f1.4 expensive considering how close it is performance wise to my Zeiss Otus trio costing more than twice as much.

Overall, what you need to consider also is that the financial health of Nikon depends on their ability to produce at the cheapest possible cost the highest value items with the best possible quality. If me getting in Jan-2017 an amazing D900 at a decent price depends on Nikon manufacturing their 105mm f1.4 in China then this is the best option for Nikon and for me, as a customer invested in their system.

Cheers,
Bernard
