Nikon is rumored to announce a new Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 lens very soon. The official announcement is expected this month (June), but I do not have an exact date yet. The new lens was described as 400mm f/4.5 to me, but there is a very low chance that the actual aperture will be f/4 (Nikon already had several different 400mm f/4.5 lenses in the past). The new 400mm Z lens will be very compact as you can see from the latest roadmap above: 23cm in length, and 1,250g in weight – almost the same size as the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 (21,98cm, 1,360g) and Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 (22.2cm, 1,435g) lenses. The new 400mm lens will be part of the Nikon S-line – meaning you should expect a very high-performance glass (Nikon calls the S-line “A Badge of Honor“). We shall see several other lens announcements by the end of the year (Nikon promised 50+ Z lenses by 2025). Nikon will also announce a new APS-C mirrorless camera – I will have another post on that soon.
