Mark Cruz, a Senior Marketing Manager at Nikon USA, made an interesting statement about the Nikon Z mirrorless lens roadmap, on a recent Adorama Live Q&A live stream, that many seem to have missed, myself included (thank you Broxibear!)
Mark Cruz said that after the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S release, there will be no more Nikon roadmap for future lenses:
The upcoming Wetzlar Camera Auctions on October 07, will auction a Nikon ED Nikkor 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8 P IF lens. In 1996 Nikon offered the longest focal length of any zoom lens available for the 35mm format. A prototype was first used in 1990 at the Koshien Stadium in Amagasaki. After that, Nikon delivered these lenses to news agencies worldwide. Beginning in 1994 Nikon made this massive lens available to the general public on a build-to-order basis – presumably no more than 35 units were produced in total worldwide.
Estimated price: 80,000 – 100,000 euros.
