Moose,

Not sure how you define 'new FF lenses' but certainly the 14-24mm f/2.8G 
ED, 24-70mm f/2.8G ED, 400mm f/2.8G ED VR, 500mm f/4G ED VR, and 600mm 
f/4G ED VR  announced with the D3 would qualify. Nikon has also updated 
many zooms since the release of DSLRs. Many have had VR added as well as 
improvements in optical design.

As for the weather sealing issue, I have to agree with you there, the 
information is tough to come by, which seems to be the case for many 
(most?) manufacturers. Even those that claim weather resistance don't 
often tell you what that really means.
