Nikon announced that they will make a 200mm/2.0 VR lens soon. That is going to be a great lens. I hope this prompts Canon to bring back the 200/1.8 as an IS version.

Nikon is also going to start making a 1.7x tele-convertor.

It is nice to see them coming out with great new products, hopefully Canon will match or exceed these latest creations.

The article had a price of apx. 4500 Euros, not exactly cheap. It sure is a good looking lens.
