Some additional information added on the upcoming Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S and Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lenses that will be announced next week:

Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S lens:

• A massive, solid lens with a lot of glass elements inside
• 17 elements in 15 groups including two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements
• There will be a lot of talk about the focus breathing of this lens
• The lens will have an OLED information panel similar to the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens (see picture above)
• Similar in size to the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S
• Fn button
• Dimensions: 90mm x 150mm
• Weather sealed
• The 50mm f/1.2 lens may also have the Noct nomenclature (Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S Noct lens?)

Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens:

• Smaller and lighter than the F-mount version
• “Movie-ready”
• Smooth and silent autofocus, with virtually no focus breathing or focus-shift while zooming
• Almost flat front element
• Will take regular filters
• Confirmed screw-on filter size: 112mm
• Additional rear filter slot that allows the use of gel filters
• The lens will come with two different hoods, I assume one for FX and one for DX use

I am not sure if Nikon will announce other products next week in addition to the two lenses. Stay tuned for more details.
