The previously rumored TTartisan 7.5mm f/2 fisheye APS-C lens for Nikon Z-mount is now officially announced and available for pre-order at the Photo Rumors Online Store with free international shipping.

Here is an updated recap of the Nikon Z9 rumored specifications so far:

There are some interesting points made, for example: the new 50mm f/2.8 MC lens is compatible with the Nikon ES-2 film digitalizing adapter (several readers have asked me about that).
