The previously rumored Nikon Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens is now officially announced:
As previously reported, Nikon made a development announcement for the Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 mirrorless lens (the lens is already listed at B&H Photo but there is no pricing):
Here is the latest Nikon Z9 coverage:
→ The Nikon Z9 started to appear online – the above picture is from Venus Optics and their new Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Nikon Z-mount.
→ The new Capture One Pro 22 supports the Nikon Z9 camera.
A new Tokina 400mm f/8 IIS mirror/reflex lens for Nikon F and Z mounts will be announced soon according to Nokishita. It is not clear if this will be a replacement for the current Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 reflex MF lens (pictured above) that uses interchangeable lens mounts or a completely different new design (see previous coverage).

The Tokina SZX 400mm f/8 reflex lens is now compatible also with Nikon Z mount
An unknown photo news website already leaked two articles with the following titles:
Update: the new 800mm lens for Z-mount will be Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3.
This confirms my previous report from earlier today that Nikon will also make the Nikkor Z 800mm lens development announcement tonight (or tomorrow).
Stay tuned for the detailed coverage!
Last week I mentioned on social media (Facebook and Twitter) that Nikon may announce another new lens. I now have more information on that new lens – the Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8 will not be an S lens and it will be priced at $1199.99 in the US. For comparison, the price of the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is currently $1,996.95 after a $300 rebate – the new 28-75 zoom will be almost half the price of the classic 24-70.
The new Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens is expected to start shipping in mid-January 2022. The official announcement is expected tonight (if not tonight, for sure this week).
There are some speculations online that the new Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens will be based on the existing Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens (pictured above) – this could explain why the lens was not on Nikon’s roadmap and why the shipping will start so soon compared to other Nikon products.
There is also a chance that we may get the development announcement of the new Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 lens, but this is not confirmed yet.
