Nikon Lens Super-quite[sic] Autofocus - 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm

1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM


Snipped from Nikon-Europe

It is super-quite[sic].  Despite the super superlative.  It's still quite, meaning not really there yet.  So be prepared to manual focus.  Or simply buy a manual focus lens on eBay or Craigslist.  If you want quiet autofocusing you have to get the STM lenses.  All other lenses that have the Stepping Motor (STM) are written as super-quiet.  Though I don't understand why Nikon put the (STM) after "Stepping" instead of "Stepping Motor."

UPDATE: 12/30/2011
It's still "super-quite."  It looks like that's the correct way to say it as Nikon Europe has no problem with it.  Or they think the lens will be so short lived or nobody is buying or researching it so why bother correcting it. Bravo.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
