TOKYO - Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce development of the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 and NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2, two compact and lightweight prime lenses for full-frame (Nikon FX-format) mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted. Both of these lenses are scheduled for release during 2021.The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 is being developed as a wide-angle prime lens perfect for everyday snapshots, and the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 as a standard prime lens that will allow users to easily enjoy bokeh as part of their imaging expression. These two compact and lightweight prime lenses are designed for ease of use by a broad range of users, including those new to mirrorless cameras, and will be ideal for a wide variety of everyday scenes and situations.Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users' needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.
There is no indication yet of how expensive the two pancake primes will be. However, given their narrower maximum apertures and the fact that they are not S-series lenses, they’ll most likely cost on the low end of things for Nikon Z glass. Considering that the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S has a $600 MSRP but often goes on sale for $500, I expect these new lenses to be in the $300-400 range instead, and maybe even less. Nikon is clearly positioning them below the 50mm f/1.8.
Eu até achava que com a pandemia os lançamentos seriam adiados por um tempo. Pelo jeito as coisas andam melhor na Nikon, pois quase todos os dias tem algo vindo por aí.
