Next week Nikon will release two new Nikkor Z mirrorless lenses:
Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S lens:
- A massive, solid lens with a lot of glass elements inside
- 17 elements in 15 groups including two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements
- There will be a lot of talk about the focus breathing of this lens
- The lens will have an OLED information panel similar to the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens (see picture above)
- Similar in size to the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S
- Fn button
- Dimensions: 90mm x 150mm
- Weather sealed
The 50mm f/1.2 lens may also have the Noct nomenclature (Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S Noct lens?)
Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens:
- Smaller and lighter than the F-mount version
- "Movie-ready"
- Smooth and silent autofocus, with virtually no focus breathing or focus-shift while zooming
- Almost flat front element
- Will take regular filters
- Confirmed screw-on filter size: 112mm
- Additional rear filter slot that allows the use of gel filters
- The lens will come with two different hoods, I assume one for FX and one for DX use
