Nikon Rumors has leaked a reported price of the new 400 mm f4.5 Nikkor Z S, and it looks pretty good. The price is supposed to be around $2000. It looks to be a nice lens.

Manny Ortez talks about it in an included video. Also, Jared Polan and the folks at DP review actually got a preproduction copy and got to test them out. I may have found the replacement for my 200-500 f5.6 that I really have trouble using. We will see.

Which is correct Danno - 2000 or 200?

I have to agree with Marilynne. I would really be super surprised if this lens is $200!! O believe $2000 is far more likely! All the review I see place the price at $2000 plus.

Latest price report from the UK is 3200GBP or $4000USD.

Well that didn’t last long… 24 hours and the rumored price doubled.

And I just updated it to reflect the most recent rumored pricing. If it was still going to be $2000, that would have been an excellent price for sure.

I think Nikon needs to come out with an affordable long telephoto for the Z mount. That was the sticking point for me and the mirrorless system. I ended with a Z on an impulse buy, and later settled for an F mount 200-500 that is a great lens for the money, and coupled it with an FTZ adapter. I would rather have had a native mount lens, but just couldn't justify the money for the few long teles Nikon has in them. The cheapest thing over 200mm is the 100-400 at nearly 3K. OK, they do have a 50-250, but it's a DX, and I wanted to get into full frame with the Z5.

I heard another rumor of around $3000 US, after VAT removed? I held off on the 100-400 for this, I really thought it would come in under the 500 5.6 PF, may have been wishful thinking.
