But check out the 10.5DX fisheye!!!!!!
And it looks like a Wifi grip may be in the offing as well...Interesting indeed!!!
But I think we will have to wait till the 22nd for the official release.

how did you find this jewel ? Actually I wanted to translate the German for you, but it's no real text. Just stuff to fill the design. The whole thing looks like a Flyer preview, to be designed for Nikons new Camera. The second
headline says "Sport Photography has a new champion"

A true DX fisheye, and the 12-24 will bring Nikon FAR FAR forward for UW photography.

My ideal would be a 16 to 60 DX lens with 1:1 macro at 60 mm.

I also own this lens, and I think it would be a great range for fish photography. Aquatica hasn't been much help in housing it, though. Let me know your progress with this lens!That would be surprising if they offered a 17-55 with 1:1. In their existing line they have a 24-85 that does 1:2. The zoom range would be very similar to that lens. At 85mm, 1:2 provides almost no working distance. I think the 24-85 would be an interesting lens with the D100 but I haven't gotten it housed yet.

B) I just talked to Nikon's Press Office here in Germany and
They said we just have to be patient one more week. And I
also tried to squeeze out the confirmation that the new lense
is a fisheye...
Well, let's say I heard her nod on the telephone!

NIKONIANS HOORAY...
I am starting to envy you, for these beautiful lenses.

PS: It's nice to have a press id card

In a German Article on heise.de I read today that Nikon said "bye bye" to the Sony CCD an developed an own fast Version, capable of 8 images per Second at high resolution. We are exited to hear about the megapixels... B)

AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10,5 mm/2.8 G ED
EUR 799,-
making me jealous about the Nikonians :angryfire:
Very remarkable too,.. the D2H is out for 3.999 EUR
and enjoys a WLAN option to transmit images wirelessly.
From under the boat! Can you imagine that?!?!??!
Well, it has to be tested with the housings first...
But new opportunities...

Do you know when is the Fisheye due to be released?
Do you know how many pixels the D2H has?
Need to convert the WLAN signal to an acoustic one and then have an acoustic receiver on the hull of the boat!
Also does that mean you could hack into another person's camera and steal their images?
Now I need to decide between buying a 12-24 or 10.5mm. It's not so easy being a Nikon owner!

This can be done already for any lens using PS plugins. My favorite is ImageAlign which also provides a standalone app.I posted separately, something I have only just seen... Nikon Capture 4 has a funky process to convert the images from the 10.5 fisheye to (as I understand it) rectilinear. Very cool indeed.
