Since Nikon announced the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1. 4 lens last week, I have been asking myself -- and Nikon -- a lot of questions about it. What about the 35mm S-Line lens on the roadmap? Is this new lens a sign of affordable f/1. petapixel.com »

How I wish we had such relatively light telephoto lenses when I began my career in sports photography back in 2008. Back then inbuilt teleconverters were an unheard-of concept. Nikon wasn't the pioneer in this field, but they've certainly stepped up and released 3 such lenses within the last 5 years. thephoblographer.com »

The Nikon 70-180mm f2. 8 being announced today is a brand new lens being made available for the first time for the Nikon Z mount.

Yes! A true Nikon pancake lens is finally here. The Nikon Z 26mm f2. 8 is, perhaps to some, an odd focal length. But that's part of the charm. It's not a 28mm lens or a 24mm lens. But it's right in between. thephoblographer.com »

The Nikon 28mm f2.8 lens is already very affordable, and it just got better because it’s even more affordable right now!

There are few doubts in mind about the origins of the new Nikon Z 17-28mm f2. 8 lens. In pretty much every single way, this tells me that Nikon is continuing a trend: and that's a good thing.

Let it be known, we're not fans of most of Nikon's kit lenses. But the Nikon 40mm f2 Z should replace every single one of them. First off, it's just under $300.
