Nikon has announced that it is developing a new 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S prime lens with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter for Nikon Z-mount, which will be the first super-telephoto lens made for Nikon's mirrorless system.
Fujifilm has announced two new lenses for its X Series line of mirrorless cameras: an XF 200mm f/2 OIS telephoto lens and an 8-16mm f/2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. There's also a new 1.4X teleconverter.
