Sources say that Nikon will authorize manufacturers to launch Z-bayonet autofocus lenses.

Thank CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of suitcase clues! CTOnews.com, February 3, according to Nikonrumors, Nikon will officially authorize third-party lens manufacturers to launch autofocus lenses for Z bayonets, as long as these lenses complement Nikon's current lens lineup rather than compete with the existing Nikkor Z lenses.

CTOnews.com learned that Z bayonet is a new generation of micro-single camera bayonet launched by Nikon, large diameter bayonet design, can improve optical performance. Nikon's current Z6, Z7, Z9 and Z50 Z30 series cameras all use Z bayonet.

Nikon's own Z bayonet lens group is gradually improving, and eight new products are expected to be released in 2023, including 2 APS-C Z bayonet lenses and 6 full-frame Z bayonet lenses.
