Nikon did not provide us with a lot of information for the new NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens – just a small press release and one picture:
Here are the details from B&H Photo’s listing:
| Focal Length | 18 to 140mm (35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 27 to 210mm) |
| Maximum Aperture | f/3.5 to 6.3 |
| Minimum Aperture | Not Specified by Manufacturer |
| Lens Mount | Nikon Z |
| Format Compatibility | APS-C |
| Minimum Focus Distance | Not Specified by Manufacturer |

The lens has been on Nikon’s Z roadmap for a while.
The development announcement tells us that the new NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens will be officially released in 2021. The lens will be useful for wide-angle, telephoto, and short distances – this indicates a short minimum focusing distance. The lens will be “compact and lightweight” and since we don’t have any other info, here is a size comparison by Michna (click for larger view):
