Two New Lenses from Nikon?

Together with the D700 rumors, there are two new lenses in the leaked brochure…

• PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D
• PC-E Micro Nikkor 45mm f/2.8D ED

Wait…I think the PC-E 24mm and 45mm are not new news…I have blogged about it before:

Still…good to see the lenses coming soon…

Saw this rumor in the net at http://www.thaidphoto.com website…looks quite real…
