While Tamron announced the release of the SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007), Nikon files a patent for a redesigned 24-70mm f/3.5-4.5 full frame lens.

Nikon filed a patent application for a redesigned 24-70mm f/3.5-4.5 full frame lens. Nikon’s last attempt at making their Budget Mid-range Zoom was the 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 G AF-S in 2002 and previous 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D was in 1991.

 

These High Quality Compacts are great performers, lightweight and fairly inexpensive. But one can only think this will be a kit lens possibly for the Nikon D3200 or other future releases. The patent contains several different variations of the Lens listed below.
