I am surprised that nobody talks about the new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens. Nikon made a mistake to announce this lens together with the mirrorless Z (another Nikon marketing fail). The price of the new lens is right at $3,596.95 and the MTF chart looks very good. Just take a look at the sample photos at the bottom of this post. Shipping will start on September 13th.

I personally think the size of the Nikon Z6/Z7 is just perfect – see the comparisons with various Nikon cameras:

We all need a break from the Nikon Z: Tamron will soon announce a new SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 full frame DSLR zoom lens for Nikon F-mount that will replace the current SP 15-30mm f/2.8 DI VC USD. The Nikon mount will start shipping at the end of September.
The old Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD model was announced in 2014, released in 2015 and is currently $100 off.
