The Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens is now $242 off on Amazon

By [NR] admin | Published: September 11, 2022

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens is currently listed for sale on Amazon for $754 (the regular price of the lens is $996):

The lens is being shipped by Amazon Japan, so I assume it is a grey market product (meaning no US warranty).

Previous coverage of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens can be found here.

The Nikon Z9 is now down to $5,775 on Amazon (sold by third-party resellers).

Now also the Nikon Z6 camera is listed as discontinued in Japan

The Z7 was listed as discontinued a month ago and now also the Z6 camera is listed as “old product” on the official Nikon Japan website:

The Nikon Z6 is however not yet listed in the discontinued section of the website but I am sure this will happen in a few days:

In the US the Nikon Z6 lens kit is still in stock at B&H (body only is listed as discontinued) and is completely removed at Adorama.
