Roland,

That's a stocking stuffer! You must choose something more exotic than that.
I agree it is a modest request, more likely to be fulfilled!  :)
I'd be very happy with a Noct, but that fails for budgetary reasons  :(
The new old-style CV 58/1.4 would be nice too, but it's not a Nikkor  :-\
I sometimes consider an AFS 300/4, but I rarely use lenses even this big  ???
Maybe one of the f/1.8 primes, just to see how they perform compared to my old glass, AF would be nice sometimes! :o
I'd really love a modern 75-150/3.5 with updated coatings and glass, but it doesn't exist!  :-\

I'm violating at least one rule but I've decided: I want the newly announced AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR.

Dave who has another Holy Grail to quest.

I would also like a 1963 Type E Jaguar. (XKE)

I would be happy just to get my D810 back from Nikon service! Got the ubiquitous "impact damage" email from them followed by another email saying they were waiting for "parts". Argh.....

85mm PC-E Micro

I am in snake debt though, so no Nikkors this winter.

I would love for a Midnight Ramble a AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G, AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G and AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED. Santa won't be bringing me anything anyway.

I've already asked for a AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR which I will not receive. I'll stick to the 70-200/2.8E.

Maybe not for christmas, but there is a AF-S 85/1.8 on the list before next summer. I know, it's not very exotic, but it is what I need :-)

A Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 would do well on my X-T1, I am sure. The EVF is such a pleasure to use with manual focus lenses. But for the price I'd better get the Fuji 56mm.
