I already reported that FieldMade introduced a new feature where you can create your own labels. The fully customizable vinyl indicator labels for any Nikon Z or F mount lens or camera are now listed on their website:
Additionally, FieldMade is currently running a Spring Sale until Monday, where you can use the code SPRING25%OFF to get 25% off your entire order.
Here are a few more custom examples:
Nikon recently filed for a “Z Cinema” trademark:
Could that be the end of the RED brand? Maybe they will use the new trademark for lenses only or the rumored Nikon Z cinema/video camera?
Here is the description of the trademark application:
Do you remember the Nikon DL fixed-lens 1″-sensor compact cameras that were announced back in 2016 and were discontinued a few months later before they even started shipping? I think Nikon should update them and bring them back. They already did the development, and those cameras will still be relevant today.
Do you want me to go a step further? Bring back the Nikon Coolpix A compact fixed-lens camera with APS-C sensor from 2013. At one point, the price of that camera was $499…
Want more ideas? Here are some old Nikon fixed lens camera concepts:
Several companies are already returning to compact fixed-lens cameras (Canon PowerShot V1, Leica D-Lux 8, Panasonic). The 6-year-old Ricoh GR is still very popular and impossible to get.
Poll: Should Nikon announce a new compact fixed-lens camera?
Should Nikon also announce a new compact camera?

The new Nikon Z5II camera will be based on the Nikon Zf and will have some of the tech from the Nikon Z6III.

What to expect next: an updated list of upcoming/rumored Nikon cameras and Nikkor lenses
The RED KOMODO camera with RF mount now has a big $2,000 price drop (currently priced at $2,995).
FYI: the new Z-mount KOMODO is priced at $6,995.
I think it is safe to assume that RED will no longer announce cameras with RF mount.
RED recently introduced new Nikon Z to PL lens mount adapters (more info). I wonder if they will keep the PL mount in the future.
This is not the first price drop – Nikon slashed up to 30% of the KOMODO prices in September of last year:
The Nikon effect: RED slashes prices of Komodo cinema cameras by up to 30% (up to $3,000)
RED also released firmware update 1.8.3 for KOMODO cameras. See the details here.
