Could the Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S be launched this month? Rumors heat up following leaked images
It’s all been quiet since Nikon’s development announcement for its upcoming super-fast, pro-grade zoom, but lately it’s been seen in the wild
Recently leaked images have sparked excitement surrounding the Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S, a highly anticipated super-telephoto zoom lens. The images, shared by Nikon Rumors and captured during the F1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend, depict the lens in use on the Nikon Z9. Nikon confirmed the lens's existence in May and established a product page, although official details remain scarce.
The Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S will feature a built-in 1.4x teleconverter, extending the telephoto range to 420mm f/4. This lens promises to be an excellent choice for wildlife and sports photographers seeking high shutter speeds and low ISO settings, thanks to its fast aperture. Nikon's previous offerings with 1.4x teleconverters include the Z 400mm f/2.8 and Z 600mm f/4 prime lenses.
The new lens will serve as a successor to Nikon's discontinued DSLR lens, the AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR, which was introduced alongside the Nikon D6 in 2019. While the Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is expected to carry a premium price, it is likely to match or exceed the $9,500 / £9,500 launch price of its predecessor.
