Amazon started their two days “Prime Day” sale:
B&H is running their own version of Prime Day – see the details here.
The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens is rumored to be announced in the August/September time frame.
The latest roadmap does not list the lens as f/1.2 but previous rumors and leaks indicate a fast f/1.2 aperture – this will be a good match for the already existing Nikkor Z 35mm and 85mm f/1.2 S lenses.
In addition to the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens, Nikon is also expected to announce a new Nikkor Z 135mm f/1.8 S lens (S-Line) in 2023.
Yahoo Japan (translation) published an article called “Z mount suddenly rises to second place in interchangeable lenses, finally escaping from regular single-digit share“. Here is a quote from the article:
→ Nikon Ai 2.8/6mm fisheye Nikkor lens listed for 130k on eBay – a significant price increase from previous listings.
→ For all DSLR fans: the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR lens is back in stock at Adorama, Amazon, and B&H Photo.
→ New on Kickstarter: The Everything Bags for cameras, tech, and travel.

Meike 85mm f/1.8 full-frame autofocus STM lens for Nikon Z-mount review by Bill Hall (see his previous reviews):
I wanted to tell you about a Chinese lens that I just got. If you haven’t tried any of the lenses being manufactured in China, you are missing out on some great lenses at bargain prices. I have several of them. All of them that I have had until now are manual focus, but now Meike is selling a full frame 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens for Nikon Z mount. It’s selling on Amazon for $199.99. The lens is available also at B&H Photo.
