Nikon Plena lens rumors (135mm f/1.8 possibly with defocus control?)

Nikon is expected to announce two new lenses this year that are still listed on their latest lens roadmap:

NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens (S-Line)
NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S lens (S-Line)

I am still waiting on a confirmation and will keep you updated. Stay tuned!
