Nikon updates its Z lens roadmap – 23 Z lenses by 2021

Nikon’s had a slight reshuffle of their Z lens roadmap. There are still 23 lenses in the list that were announced alongside the Nikon Z6 & Z7 mirrorless cameras, but some are coming a little sooner, and some will be a little later.

We’ve already seen one of these with the recent 14-30mm f/4 announcement, which is one of the six shown in the old 2019 lineup, along with the 58mm f/0.95 S Noct (which is still showing as coming soon on the Nikon USA website). Here’s the old roadmap for comparison.

The original, and now obsolete, Z lens roadmap announced in August 2018

Looking at the differences between the old and new roadmaps, the 20mm f/1.8 has been delayed from 2019 until 2020, and the 24mm f/1.8 is being brought forward from 2020 to 2019. One of the yet to be announced lenses from 2021 has also been shifted to 2020. This means 6 total lenses coming in 2019 (2 of those have now been announced), 7 in 2020, and 7 in 2021.

By the end of this year, the Z lens lineup should be starting to round out quite nicely.  With 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm f/1.8 primes, as well as 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 zooms, those should cover the needs of most shooters. Of course, the lens prices will probably have to come down a bit if Nikon wants a wider appeal.

Exactly what the eleven “TBA” lenses are is anybody’s guess, possibly some f/1.4 or more f/1.2 primes? I would hope at least one good macro around the 105mm sort of size.
