Nikon starts shipping the new NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f /2.8 VR S and NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f /2.8 mirrorless macro lenses (*UPDATED*)

By [NR] admin | Published: June 24, 2021




Today Nikon started shipping the new NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f /2.8 VR S and NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f /2.8 mirrorless macro lenses. Most of the shipping notifications I got are for NPS members in the US and Canada but the lenses are shipping also in Europe:

“The preorder item from your order is in stock and ready to ship. We will send another email in the next few business days with your shipping information. Thanks for your patience!
The following item is preparing to ship:
NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S
Quantity: 1”

Just a reminder that the demand for the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f /2.8 VR S lens was huge and many stores received a record number of per-orders. All this combined with the current chip shortage suggests that the 105mm lens will be out of stock for a very long time.

The upcoming Nikon Zfc announcement doesn’t kill the rumors for a new smaller and cheaper Nikon Z30 mirrorless camera. Since the new Zfc will have pretty much the same specifications and price as the Z50 (around $1,000 with a kit lens), there is still a place and need for a real entry-level mirrorless model placed under the Zfc/Z50, especially since the D3500 is already discontinued.
