A quick update on the latest discontinued Nikon cameras and lenses (thanks ZoetMB):
The first two Nikon Z-mount lenses to be discontinued:
- Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70 f/2.8 VR S lens (V1) is now officially discontinued (B&H still has inventory).
- Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens (V1) is now officially discontinued (B&H still has inventory).
The next one is strange:
- The original Nikon FTZ II mount adapter (item #4264) is discontinued, and a new model (item #4306) is now available for sale. The price is the same. I have no idea what changed.
More discontinued Nikon cameras and lenses:
- Nikon Coolpix P950 camera is already listed as discontinued at some Japanese retailers (still in stock at B&H Photo).
- Nikon Nikkor AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR lens.
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G lens.
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens (discontinued in Japan, out of stock at B&H Photo).
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens (out of stock at B&H Photo).
Some old F-mount lenses that were previously considered discontinued (and have been out of stock for a long time) suddenly showed up in stock at B&H Photo:
- Nikon AF Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D ED lens
- Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens
- Nikon AF Fisheye-Nikkor 16mm f/2.8D lens
- Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED lens
- Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens
The official list of discontinued Nikon cameras and lenses can be found here.
- The FTZ model number was changed many months ago, maybe more than a year.
- Here’s another model number change: The Tamron Z 28-75 f/2.8 labeled 20107 has been discontinued and replaced with 20137. Same specs, same price. Don’t know why.
- There are four F-mount lenses officially discontinued in the U.S., but still available in Japan: 10-20DX, 14-24 2.8G, 28 1.8G, and 300 2.8G. B&H has B-stock on the 10-20mm DX and regular stock on the 14-24mm and 28mm.
- There are four F-mount lenses discontinued in Japan, but still on the Nikon USA list:
- 50 1.8AF (in stock)
- 24 1.8G (backordered at Nikon USA. OS at B&H)
- 10-24 DX (in stock)
- 85 DX micro (out of stock at Nikon USA and B&H)
- NikonUSA lists 52 F-mount lens SKUs, but 16 haven’t been available for two years or longer, and 7 others are AI-S manual-focus lenses that are only available via special order, yet there’s no way to order them on the website. That brings the net total to 29, but at least check, Nikon USA only had 12 in stock, although 23 were in stock at B&H Photo.
- Interestingly, at last check, 9 Z-mount lenses were backordered at NikonUSA, although only one was out of stock at B&H.
