The next two Nikkor Z mirrorless lenses to be announced: 20mm f/1.8 and 24-200mm

By [NR] admin | Published: February 1, 2020



The next two Nikkor Z mirrorless lenses to be announced are:

  • Nikkor Z 20mm f/1.8 S
  • Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/??-6.3 (not sure about the aperture at 24mm) – this will be a full-frame, fully sealed zoom lens that may have a collapsible barrel (not confirmed)

I do not have an exact date yet, but there is a possibility that both lenses could be announced together with the D6 or shortly after (the D6 is expected in the first half of February). Stay tuned for additional info.

The latest Nikkor Z lens roadmap can be found here:
