Recent leaks and rumors suggest Nikon is planning to launch a pair of new lenses soon - the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR and the AF-S DX 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR.

The 24-85mm lens is rumored to be an affordable full frame lens (possibly a kit lens?) to accompany the rumored Nikon D600.  And the 18-300mm is an all-purpose DX lens for cameras like the Nikon D7000.

The lenses are rumored to be available by the end of June, which (if correct) puts an announcement any day now.
