The Nikon NAV SW which were released in 2009 are $170 more expensive than the DELOS. The new DELOS will run out the door if they perform at the level I think they will.

Pretty simple business strategy IMO.

Agree, if they release a ~14 and 20mm at around $339, I'm there for both! I just hope they keep to 1.25 inch, I really don't like the double barrel set up, the optional attachment of a 2" skirt/collar is much better IMHO. I was just about to splurge during the last 48 hours of the current TV sale, but the Delos range has made me re-evaluate with high anticipation. Thanks for the heads-up John....! Fox
