Nikon Z Noct Nikkor 58mm f/0.95 lens additional coverage (coming in January 2019?)

New Nikon N1838 camera registered online

By [NR] admin | Published: December 14, 2018

Nokishita reports that a new Nikon N1838 camera was registered in Russia:

Nikon has already registered N1811 and is still expected to announce the N1721 (Nikon Coolpix A1000).

To recap, currently Nikon has three new, not-yet-announced cameras register online:

N1838
N1811
N1721

Nikon is rumored to announce at least two new DSLR cameras in 2019: the Nikon D6 and the Nikon D760 – maybe this is what the N1838 and N18111 codes are for.

List of already announced camera codes:
