Dear Santa...Sorry wrong thread.
I think I could get used to the reversed focus and zoom given that it's an FL and doesn't breath.There must be a technical reason for the switch. ...
Nikon clearly states the switch of zoom and focus collars is done to improve [hand-held] handling of the lens.They do not anywhere mention a reduction of focus breathing. I wonder from where that assertion originates.
How about the flourite element thats been incorporated from what i understand quite fragile when exposed to sudden temperature changes.
