I suspect the reason for the appearance of more f1.8 lenses from Nikon is that they have finally settled on the FX format and want to capitalise on all those enthusiasts who want to use prime lenses. They have had a number of f1.4 primes for some time now but they are rather expensive. The f1.8 versions are significantly cheaper but retain a very high performance. I still have my 85 f1.8 AF that I bought about 20 years ago.
