Yeah, but isn't that always the way for all the new camera product announcements?

You'll also note that the blog I linked to had a follow-up posting basically saying the same thing you did--it's a good attempt to fill a hole in Nikon's lineup. Just because they were hoping after the AF-S 50 f/1.4 announcement that Nikon would be creating an AF-S f/1.4 lineup of the traditional primes doesn't mean that's what Nikon should be doing.

It's only that precision math nerds who are going to divide 50/1.5 and complain they really want a 33mm lens, not a 35mm one to be normal on a crop body.
