42x optical is certainly impressive (or foolhardy?)  The devil will be 
in the detail; how
much distortion, chromatic aberration, light loss etc. will you have to 
suffer in return?
The lack of manual focus ring may be a blessing in disguise; trying to 
dial in the right
focal length could be a challenge in itself!

Kudos to Nikon for pushing the envelope.
