Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens is rumored to be announced in the August/September time frame


The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens is rumored to be announced in the August/September time frame.

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.
