Additional information on the new lenses:
Canon is already teasing a new product announcement for February 8th and you know what that means – Nikon will soon announce new products. I expect the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S and NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 lenses to be officially announced today or tomorrow based on your time zone. Stay tuned for the details coverage and pre-order links. I expect the waiting time for the 85mm lens to be long.
Update – the 85mm f/1.2 lens is now also listed at Adorama (the 26mm f/2.8 listing can be found here):
