The latest telephoto zoom lens from Nikon packs in the highest zoom ratio we’ve seen on an APS-C or DX lens.

That said, you’ll be paying for the privilege — the lens will launch in June for $ 999.95, which sounds like a lot to lay down for a superzoom. Still, you’ll likely be hard-pressed to find a more versatile lens for any APS-C- camera.
Also announced is the full-frame-compatible 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR, a standard zoom which should provide a useful walk-around option for…
