What is Nikon doing to align its lens line with it’s recently annnounced emphasis on digital SLR’s. Many of Nikon lenses serve both 35mm and digital. One of Nikon’s reasons for using the sensor size that it uses is that lenses can be made smaller and lighter. Why are they still selling those oversize and overweight lenses? Resolutions of 10, 12 or 16 megapixels require resolution beyond what many 35mm lenses provide to full acheive the sensor’s potential. Is dealing with this part of the plan?
