By [NR] admin | Published: April 3, 2022


The new Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S mirrorless lens for Z-mount is now shipping in the US. I received the first email confirmation from a reader that the lens is actually shipping. Of course, the order was placed on the day of the announcement (January 18). I expect the wait time for the Nikkor Z 400mm lens to be similar to the Z9 (around 1 year) – check pricing and availability at:

What to expect next from Nikon (updated): one new Nikon camera is expected in 2022

By [NR] admin | Published: March 31, 2022


What to expect next from Nikon (updated):

  • Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.2 (see patent)
  • Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 – coming next week (this lens will be amazing on many levels and it will be a huge hit)
  • Nikon Z6II+Z7II firmware updates with more AF and EVF improvements (will not be available for the Z6/Z7 cameras due to the slower processor)
  • One new Nikon camera is expected in 2022 (two new Nikon cameras were recently registered online)
  • More new Z lenses (development announcements and potential roadmap update)
