Re: AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR is coming
I think that Nikon is currently embarking on a two-tiered strategy. With the impending release of the D6 to coincide with the Olympic Games, it makes sense that they introduce a lens that showcases that body's capacity. There is little doubt that a 120-300 f/2.8 would be a very useful lens for capturing Olympic competitions.
As stated by Lance (and others), the Z-series has not proven to be a fully sports-capable camera system yet. Until Nikon figures out how to optimize AFC in a Z camera, the DSLR's are their go-to system for action. Furthermore, I hypothesize that the 120-300 has been on the "drawing board" for a long time (prior to committing to the Z-system ?). Were mirrorless not have become the trend that it has, a 120-300 f/2.8 would have been a great way to "one-up" Canon, as they were Nikon's traditional rival when it comes to action photography.
