Is the new Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S lens (expected to be announced this week) going to be priced at around $2,000? I am not sure, but check this video by Manny Ortiz who met Jared Polin when he shot his 400mm f/4.5 video (starting at the 2:50 mark):
Update – here are the real prices:
Update: leaked UK pricing of the upcoming Nikon Z30 camera and Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 lens
In the video, Manny Ortiz indicates that the price difference between the new Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S lens and the existing Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens will be $12,000. Since the 400mm f/2.8 is priced at $14k, the price of the new 400mm f/4.5 lens should be around $2,000. This is pretty low, but keep in mind that the very popular Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR lens for Nikon F-mount is also priced at $2k.
