Hey Chris , hey Zach !
Of course both of you are absolutely right, and you two seem to know the conditions over there in Japan quite well too.
I actually only wanted to indicate that this new lens seems to become a big success for Nikon despite the switched rings for focusing and zooming. I am sure most of those who sold their VR II's now had been able to try out the new one already and decided to get it.
Honestly, I think these design changes won't prevent a lens from doing well, especially when it's replacing an older model. Correct me, if I'm wrong, but it's been 6-7 years since Nikon released the vr ii, right? That's plenty of time for people to get excited about an update.
I doubt most buyers actually go to show rooms to check out new lenses. Nikon only has a handful of show rooms in Japan (two of them are in Tokyo), so people living outside the major urban areas won't be able to check out new lenses easily (at least not before they are released).
