Nikon confirms issues with Nikkor 24/1.4 lens

June 2nd, 2010

After weeks of rumors and many disbelieving the bad news (and I still don’t get it!) Nikon USA seems to confirm issues with at least two of the new Nikkor 24/1.4 lenses:

“Nikon Service was able to reproduce your issue with your lens as well as another lens. They are currently studying the issue and trying to determine if/when it can be addressed.” (NIKON USA, General Manager of Technical Support)

That’s pretty bad news for potential buyers of this prime lens. I will keep you updated. Source: forum post

It features all the bells and whistles: silent wave motor, Nano Crystal Coat, two ED and two aspherical lens elements. Nikon speaks of “pleasing blur characteristics” so we can expect a smooth bokeh.
