In my first two articles discussing the Nikon Z system, I focused first on the three available cameras and then gave brief overviews of each available native Nikkor Z lens (prime lenses overview and zoom lenses overview). With that said, for customers looking to buy a Nikon Z mirrorless camera,
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens has been sold out nearly nonstop since its launch in September 2018. That’s a very long time to experience regular backorders. There are a couple of primary reasons for this shortage. One, the 500mm f/5.6E PF lens is difficult to
