Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens is rumored to be announced in the August/September time frame


The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens is rumored to be announced in the August/September time frame.

The latest roadmap does not list the lens as f/1.2 but previous rumors and leaks indicate a fast f/1.2 aperture – this will be a good match for the already existing Nikkor Z 35mm and 85mm f/1.2 S lenses.

In addition to the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S-line lens, Nikon is also expected to announce a new Nikkor Z 135mm f/1.8 S lens (S-Line) in 2023.
