The Zeiss announced a new Otus 28mm f/1.4 lens for Nikon F mount (ZF.2). Shipping will start in the second quarter of 2016. The retail sales price was not announced, but given the price of other Otus lenses, expect new 1.4/28 to cost around $4,000.

The current Nikon Speedlight flash products lineup
I received a rumor that Nikon may also announce a new SB-920 Speedlight flash with a built-in LED light. Just like the D810s, this info comes from a reliable source but I would like to hear it from few more places in order to be 100% convinced.
