Nikon confirms cheaper and non-S lenses will be announced “at a later date”
Within that brochure Nikon confirmed cheaper and non-S lenses will be announced “at a later date”. There is yet no rumor floating around the web about the possible specs of those lenses. I guess we will see the first of such lenses announced in late 2019.
CIPA report: The system camera market takes a huge loss in February
We don’t know yet for sure how good or bad the Nikon Z sales are. But what we know for sure is that the system camera market is still dropping according to the latest CIPA report:
In Feb 2019 Japanese manufacturers shipped 35% less system cameras compared to last year. And this is really a very bad sign 🙁
