You're probably right, but I don't like the price increase bit. Many recent lens releases assume that users have become much wealthier!

Just like the Canon EF 20-35mm f3.5-4.5 USM was followed up by the Canon EF 17-40mm f4 L USM, the Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f4 VR is a replacement for the AF 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 D.



About the price:

The Nikon AF 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 D was priced 1400 DM in 2001. If we totally disregard inflation, that would be €700. But we know we can not disregard inflation.

The Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f4 VR retails for €1000. That seems pretty decent, compared to what the 18-35mm cost when it was still a "current lens".
