Hi RS, The discussion was started by the mention of long white lenses seen in an X-Box game not a low-end consumer camera and lens nor a short 28-70 2.8. In my response I said lenses in current production meaning, common, mass produced, standard items that a regular local store would normally keep in stock (Henry, B&H and B&H class stores are not regular stores by any means IMO, I only wish it were so). I'm in the USA and just had a look at the USA Nikon Inc. website and there are no light grey super telephoto lenses pictured on this site in the lens section. There is a mention at the bottom of the new AF-S ED II super tele lens descriptions (starting with the 300 f/2.8 through 600 f/4), that say that you can special order this lens in "light grey." These are not what I would call regular production items but "special order only" items as Nikon's site describes them.
