The new lens is unlike the old SWM equipped with ultrasonic motor (the old one had an AF-D technology, which means he used the engine from the body) as well as enhanced, four-speed system for vibration reduction. The lens weighs 1570 grams, receives 77-millimeter filters and minimum focal length of 1.7 meters.
Given the high price is not surprising that this lens is primarily designed for Nikon bodies with full-size sensor (FX format). Currently the cheapest body that Nikon has to offer that fulfills the requirements of the mentioned lens is the D600.
