Nikon officially announced the development of a new Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S telephoto zoom lens with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter (check B&H Photo for pricing). I just mentioned this lens in my “What to expect next from Nikon” post earlier today. The lens has actually been rumored for months – see also the leaked pictures I reported in January:
