There is a very good chance that the official announcement will be tonight – stay tuned. The lens will be very light and very expensive. Keep an eye on the B&H Photo listing for that lens – the price should show up at some point tonight.

Here is a picture of the Nikon Z9 camera capturing a bullet fired from a rifle

Here is a picture of the Nikon Z9 camera capturing a bullet fired from a rifle during a biathlon competition by photographer Göran Strand (who also did the Z9 ISO test I published earlier):

“Put the new Nikon Z9 up for a speed test today. With an exposure time of 1/32,000 and 120 frames per second you can catch a bullet as it leaves the rifle. Pretty impressive 🙂 Nikon Z9 with Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4E PF ED VR”
