    Five key takeaways from the new Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S II lens announcement

    August 22, 2025 /

    Here are the five key takeaways from the new Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens, announced today: Innovative Design: The lens features an internal zoom mechanism, making it the world’s first professional 24-70mm F2.8 lens with this design. This allows for consistent handling and balance while zooming, enhancing usability for both photographers and videographers. Lightweight and Durable: Weighing only 675 grams, it is the lightest lens in its class. The lens is also built with pro-grade weather sealing, making it more robust and suitable for outdoor use. Enhanced Autofocus Performance: Equipped with Nikon’s Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor, the lens offers 5x faster autofocus that is 50% quieter…

    Nikon Nikkor Z 135mm F1.8 S Plena lens announced

    September 27, 2023 /

    Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z 135mm F1.8 S Plena lens, which is said to be optimised for out-of-focus highlights, after teasing the new model on YouTube. The Plena lens adopts 16 elements in 14 groups and includes one element using a relatively new type of glass from Nikon called an SR (Short-wavelength Refractive) element: “Nikon’s original SR (Short-wavelength Refractive) lens is a high- and specialized-dispersion glass lens featuring characteristics to greatly refract light with wavelengths shorter than that of blue. By controlling short-wavelength light that is difficult to compensate, light of various specific wavelengths can be more effectively collected achieving highly precise chromatic aberration compensation. Because this lens can…

    Images leak of two Nikon Nikkor Z MC lenses: 105mm F2.8 VR S and 50mm F2.8

    June 1, 2021 /

    Images have leaked of two, as yet un-announced, Nikkor “MC” lenses; the full-frame Nikkor MC 105mm F2.8 VR S, and what’s now confirmed as another full-frame model, the Nikkor MC 50mm F2.8. The “MC” designation has not been used by Nikon previously, but speculatively, it’s most likely a true macro (1:1) and without any de-focus image control DC function, like the Canon version or as per the older AF-Nikkor DC 105mm F2.0 D and 135mm F2.0 D models. Neither of those were macro lenses but it’s common for the 100mm macro lenses to double for portraiture due to their close focus capabilities. At least, that’s the current view based on…
