Nikon Japan has updated the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 Mark II lens listing on their online store with the statement: “Due to the overwhelming number of orders we have received for this product, it may take some time for delivery.” They now list the expected shipping date as April 2026. The US press release initially suggested the lens would be available in late March 2026.
