According to some recent reports, we’re only two days away from the official announcement of the Nikon Z50 and two new Z lenses. And it looks like the Nikon Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens will join the party, too. The latest reports say they will all be launched together, and we now have the expected prices of the upcoming gear.
The Z50 is an upcoming APS-C mirrorless camera from Nikon, and it will work with the new EN-EL25 battery. As for the lenses we can expect, there will be two APS-C lenses to follow the Z50 camera: Z-Nikkor 16-55mm f/3.5-6.3 and Z-Nikkor 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3. But as I mentioned, it looks like the previously rumored Nikon Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct will be launched at the same time with the new mirrorless camera and lenses.
The previous reports gave us the approximate prices of the Z50 and two accompanying lenses. But now, Nikon Rumors has more detailed prices to share:
