Chinese camera lens manufacturer 7artisans has expanded its lineup of Nikon Z Mount lenses to include a 10mm f/2.8 Fisheye ($270), 55mm f/1.4 II ($130), and the 60mm f/2.8 II Macro ($180).

Nikon has financially struggled over the past year due to a host of factors, but according to the company's CFO Muneaki Tokunari, it expects to be fully in the black by the next fiscal year. Additionally, it will push to release 12 lenses in the next 12 months.

Earlier this week, Nikon rewarded their fans with the reveal that a flagship mirrorless camera that will surpass the D6 was coming to market this year. The Z9, as it is called, looks like it's going to be a killer camera -- but buying one is likely going to be a challenge.

Venus Optics is continuing to add support for more mounts and today the 11mm f/4.5 FF RL (full-frame rectilinear) lens is available for Canon RF mount and the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra-Macro APO is available for Nikon Z mount.

The Hong Kong-based lens adapter maker Megadap has launched the world's first autofocus adapter for manual lenses on Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. The lens gives autofocus abilities to Leica M manual-focus lenses.

While not yet listed on Viltrox's web store, the rumored 85mm f/1.8 STM lens for Nikon Z has been listed on Amazon for $399, nearly $200 less expensive than the Nikkor Z 85mm f1/.8 S lens even after a $100 rebate.

20 months after the launch of Nikon’s first foray into the full-frame mirrorless world, it’s now time to take stock of what’s to love about the Z, or D.

First, a little backstory. For much of my young career, I shot Canon. Be it the 1D, 1D2, 1DS, 1D3, 1DS2 and 1DS3, let’s just say I had a thing for the ergonomics of that chassis. In every camera I would replace the focusing screen with the cross-style manual focusing option and would never use AF. To make things even more difficult, I only shot primes.
