PC in Brisbane are very quick to get stuff out.

Nikon says it signifies Nano Crystal Coat, personnally I think it stands Nikkor Pricing. These lenses definitely have a difference to their light transmission abilities over other lenses I have, so there must be something in it.

funny things is, when i bought the 14-24 about four months ago, i was so excited with it.... but since then ive used it probably three times. I can't find a use for it at that wide a fov that the 24-70 can't do.

No, but I'd like a D3... Once I stop buying good glass I'll upgrade the D200. I'm not in a big hurry for the latest camera... well maybe just a little bit... OK I'm seriously thinking about either a D3 or D300 :D

24-70 is pretty much a permanent fixture on the camera, definitely the pick of the lens line up. I wanted the wider FOV as I found I was reaching back in the bag for my 18-200 to get that extra bit below 24mm.
