Would you pay $14,000 for a lens?
Nikon officially announced the NIKKOR Z 120–300mm f/2.8 TC VR S, and the U.S. price is $13,999.95.
I hoped it would land under $10,000. Several of my subscribers predicted closer to $15,000.
Even at this price, I think Nikon has built a compelling option for demanding sports and wildlife photography. The native 120–300mm f/2.8 range and built-in teleconverter offer flexibility that could matter when the action changes quickly.
In my latest YouTube video, I cover the official specifications and explain why I think the price is fair—even though it’s certainly expensive.
