where there’s smoke there’s fire

I received some information that Zenit will be stepping up their game in 2020 and has planned at least three new F-mount lenses (see also this post):

• Zenitar 50mm f/1.2 EA full-frame lens for Nikon F-mount (not to be mistaken with the current Zenitar 50mm f/1.2 APS-C DSLR lens)
• Zenitar 60mm f/2.8 macro lens for Nikon F-mount
• A third unknown lens for F-mount

Zenit is also working on new lenses for Nikon with autofocus and electronic coupling (electronic aperture control). Their new lenses will be with new optical designs (not taken from older lenses).

Zenit also has the Zenitar 50mm f/0.95 full-frame lens that could easily be made for Nikon Z-mount.
