The ink is still wet on Nikon's acquisition of RED Cinema, but the two teams are already meeting and working on integrating their technologies.
The ink is still wet on Nikon's acquisition of RED Cinema, but the two teams are already meeting and working on integrating their technologies.
Nikon confirmed that it began considering acquiring RED due to the lawsuit the cinema company filed against Nikon back in 2022.
As part of Nikon's 90th anniversary of Nikkor lenses, Nikon provided PetaPixel the opportunity to interview three Nikon employees involved in Nikon's lens and user experience design.
Nikon is celebrating 90 years since the launch of its first Nikkor-branded lens and "in commemoration of this milestone" it has released a new logo and plans to follow with a series of promotions.
The 105mm macro lens has been a long-standing staple lens for most professional photographers, and I have never met a wedding photographer who didn't have one in their kit.
An extremely rare Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens with a massive 220-degree field of view has appeared on eBay for 130,000 euros, or about $146,152. It is the exact same lens that failed to sell at the 2022 Leitz Photographica Auction.
Nikon is continuing its recent tear of releases that support fans of long-distance shooting with the new Nikkor Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR as well as a new Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8 which it says completes the trio of affordable f/2.8 Z-mount zooms.
Nikon has announced the Nikkor DX 24mm f/1.7 lens, a fast aperture, compact prime for its Z-mount APS-C cameras that promises to bring bokeh to the DX format for $280.
Last September, Nikon released the Z mount 17-28mm f/2.8 lens. Immediately, two specifications piqued my interest when it came to how this lens would perform with astrophotography and nightscapes: it was a wide-angle lens and also fast at f/2.8.
Nikon is considering reinvestment in mainland Japan manufacturing through a new expansion of its facility in Otawara City, which currently hosts its only remaining Japan-based optics factory.
Nikon's recent development announcement for a 26mm f/2.8 lens sent chills down my spine, exacerbated by its diminutive proportions. While maybe not the most important lens in their lineup, is any mirrorless system complete without one?
Yesterday, Nikon revealed that it was developing a new 85mm f/1.2 S lens for its Z-mount mirrorless cameras, and PetaPixel was able to get some literal hands-on time with the optic, which shows that the new lens is quite the handful.
Nikon has announced that it is developing two new lenses for Z-mount cameras: the Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.2 S and the Nikkor Z 26mm f/2.8 pancake.
Nikon just announced the 600mm f/4 TC VR S IS Super-Telephoto lens for its Z-mount cameras and photographer Steve Perry was fortunate enough to get some hands-on time with it. In short, he's quite impressed.
Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Super-Telephoto lens that features a built-in 1.4x teleconverter for its mirrorless Z-mount cameras. The company says it offers an unprecedented combination of versatility and powerful performance.
Nikon's first-party lens support for its Z-mount mirrorless cameras has been growing rapidly over the last few years to nearly 30 optics. But to support that rapid growth, the company appears to be purchasing Tamron designs and rehousing them to appear as Nikon originals.
Nikon has announced a new 17-28mm f/2.8 lens for its Z-mount mirrorless cameras. The full-frame wide-angle optic is the latest addition to the company's selection of f/2.8 zoom lenses.
A new report alleges that Nikon has discontinued 35 of its F-mount DSLR lenses over the past three years as the company focuses its efforts on mirrorless cameras.
Yongnuo isn't a name often associated with high-end optical excellence, but perhaps that should change. The company's 85mm f/1.8 lens is listed in the top three of all lenses based on its overall DxOMark score.
The Nikon Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S is an anomaly: lens with this kind of focal length and aperture shouldn’t be so easy to use and inexpensive. So, what’s the catch?
Nikon has confirmed that the lens price increases that affected other regions this past April are coming to the United States. The price increases are minor and nearly exclusively affect only Z-mount leses.
Nikon has announced the compact Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S super-telephoto prime lens for its mirrorless Z-mount cameras and it says that this new optic is the lightest in its class.
Nikon has announced the Nikkor 800mm f/6.3 VR S super-telephoto lens for its Z-mount cameras. While still a hefty lens, it is 48% lighter and 16% shorter than its F-mount counterpart thanks in part to the use of a Phase Fresnel (PF) front element.
Currently, the longest-reaching telephoto zoom lens in the Nikon Z-mount system, the Nikkor 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S faces a lot of eager potential customers who are going to balance its longer focal length with overall size and cost. I can’t say it will disappoint.
The full-frame Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S has many long-lens photographers excited about being the last piece of glass they’ll ever need to buy. With a built-in 1.4x teleconverter effectively replacing the need for a 500mm or 600mm f/4 and state-of-the-art optics from Nikon, there’s potential to be something truly special.
Vintage lenses are more popular than ever, thanks in large part to the mirrorless revolution as well as affordable, high-quality cinema and hybrid video cameras. These lenses are regularly “cine modded” for video use due to their unique character and less clinical rendering, (sometimes) affordable prices compared to cine lenses, helicoid-driven focus with hard stops, and physical aperture rings (which are often de-clicked).
Looking to get started in photography but feel overwhelmed at the huge number of different camera models on the market? The daunting feeling can be an obstacle as you try to dive headfirst into the art form, but you have come to the right place: we have selected the best cameras for beginners looking to dip their toes in photography without breaking the bank or getting in over their heads.
While there are many advantages to buying a brand new camera -- including a manufacturer warranty and, well, the fact that it’s never been used by anyone else -- there are likewise a plethora of reasons to buy cameras on the used market.

There has been a lot of chatter and excitement surrounding the Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 lens when it was announced as a special pairing (along with a special version) with the Z fc camera. As one of the smallest and lightest lenses released for the Z mirrorless system that comes paired with one of the shorter focus distances, the $297 "pocket" lens packs a lot of punch in a tiny and affordable package.
