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
Focus Type	Autofocus
Image Stabilization	Yes
Filter Size	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):
