Yup. There's also a PF 600mm f/5.6 (I think it was f/5.6) being worked on as well. It sounds like Nikon wants to do a lighter weight, smaller, and less expensive, but possibly slower line, then keep their top of the line pro primes. Hell, I'd buy a 600mm PF prime for the right price.
Then again, if I were made of money, I'd have gone all primes instead of the 200-500mm f/5.6 |

Less expensive being relative, of course. The current version Canon 400/4 DO is $6900 +/- some coin. Still cheaper than the big glass. I hope they do well with these.

The trade off of course is the 200-500 while heavy is within the reasonable weight of being hand holdable. Many of the big and/or fast primes are not. Quote HistoryQuoted:
