Nikon Rumors

Confirmed: Nikon Z9, FTZ II adapter and 2-3 new Nikkor Z lenses to be announced

By [NR] admin | Published: October 25, 2021

Nokishita confirmed the upcoming Nikon product – here is a list taken from an online retailer:

Nikon Z9 camera body (see all Z9 leaks and rumors)
Nikon Z9 FTZ II kit
Nikon FTZ II adapter (previously reported here)
100-400mm lens (Nikkor 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 S)
Standard f/4 zoom lens – maybe the 24-105 from the roadmap?

I am glad that the Nikon FTZ II adapter rumors are now confirmed.

I already reported that we will only get a development announcement for the Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 S lens and this explains why the lens is not listed at the online store that leaked the above info.
