Nikon will soon introduce a new trade-in program in the US where in addition to the regular savings, buyers will get extra bonus for trading in their gear. The new program will be mainly targeting the Z6 and Z7 mirrorless cameras and bundles.
Some of the current lens-only rebates (Adorama | B&H Photo) and camera rebates (Adorama | B&H Photo) could expire at the end of August.
The IRIX 11mm f/4 lens for Nikon F-mount is now up to $125 off only at Adorama:
Additional information on the Irix 11mm f/4 lens, including press release, MTF charts and specifications can be found here and here.
Irix lenses are sold also at B&H, Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon DE, Amazon FR, Amazon IT and Amazon CA.
The new Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens is expected to start shipping on September 5th and Amazon Germany is currently listing the lens for €800 - that is €100 cheaper from the regular price of €899,

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens has been out of stock since it was announced in August 2018 (I am lucky to have one). Nikon Japan already issued several apologizes on the lens shortage. A few months ago Amazon removed the order option for the Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E and the lens no longer appears in Amazon's search results. Amazon also canceled all existing pre-orders (for that reason I strongly suggest ordering from Adorama and B&H).
A few months ago I posted some possible explanation on why the lens is hard to find. A reader recently sent me a screenshot from the German NPS website that states the monthly production capacity of the 500mm f/5.6 lens is limited to approximately 1000 lenses:
Some additional information on the upcoming Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S mirrorless lens that is expected to be announced on or around September 4th, 2019:
