Nikon’s optics and digital tools were also recognised for their innovation and performance. Judges applauded the COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED and COOLSHOT 50i GII rangefinders for their “outstandingly fast measurement speed” and “ergonomic design,” the STABILIZED 10×25 S / 12×25 S binoculars for an “unexpectedly immersive experience,” and Nikon Imaging Cloud for simplifying and enhancing the imaging workflow.

With seven wins spanning mirrorless cameras, lenses, optics, and digital tools, Nikon continues to set the standard for innovation, performance, and design, inspiring creators to push the boundaries of what’s possible worldwide.

The COOLSHOT 50i GII is equipped with a built-in magnet, enabling comfortable use by attaching it to a golf cart or a club. Both models feature an ergonomic design for excellent grip and adopts an accent colour as a new identity, embodying the next generation design of the COOLSHOT series, which has long been loved by golfers around the world.

iF Design Award 2026 comments on the STABILIZED 10×25 S / 12×25 S Binoculars

This product offers an unexpectedly immersive experience from small-aperture compact binoculars. Generally, the larger the diameter, the wider the field of view and the more immersive the experience. However, many of these products are heavy and cause fatigue when used for long periods of time. This product’s image stabilization function eliminates a disadvantage of small-aperture binoculars, blurring of images due to hand movement. By enabling an experience that was previously only possible with a heavy, large-aperture product, users are freed from physical stress and can concentrate on what they want to see.

Further information on both of Nikon’s awarded products can be found on the iF DESIGN AWARD website.

Meanwhile, the Nikon ZR earned the prestigious title of “Best Advanced Compact Cinema Camera”, recognised for its “outstanding innovation, reliability, and performance in professional video production.” Nikon’s success continued in the lens categories, with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II named the ‘Best Full Frame Standard Zoom Lens”.

Nikon Europe today announces an extended, free five-year warranty on all newly purchased NIKKOR Z mount lenses.

Purchasing a new NIKKOR Z mount lens now comes with added peace of mind, as the lens will be covered against faults that might occur within the first five years of ownership.

The new warranty is applicable in most European countries and covers NIKKOR Z lenses purchased from authorised Nikon retailers, Nikon Store and Nikon Plazas in Europe.

All NIKKOR Z mount lenses are covered by the new warranty, including kit lenses and teleconverters. If a claim fulfils the conditions during the extended warranty period, the lens will be repaired free of charge by authorised Nikon technicians.

Customers simply need to register their NIKKOR Z lens product within 90 days of purchase via an easy online process and it will be covered for five years from the date of purchase.

Nikon has been designing and manufacturing NIKKOR lenses for more than 90 years, pushing innovation in optical science alongside a dedication to the highest possible quality products. This extended free warranty reflects Nikon’s confidence in the enduring quality of NIKKOR lenses.

Weighing in at a class-leading 998 g, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II offers a significant upgrade in terms of balance, agility, and stability. A full 362 g lighter than its predecessor, and 12 mm shorter, this new lens is more comfortable to handle when shooting handheld and video shooters using a Z camera on a gimbal will benefit from the balanced internal zoom, which keeps the centre of gravity consistent when changing focal lengths. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II also boasts up to 6 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction, which combines with the fast f/2.8 aperture to deliver every advantage in challenging conditions, and Synchro VR maximises stability at the centre and edges of the frame with compatible Z cameras.

Responsiveness gets a massive boost thanks to the speed and silence of the new AF system, which is equipped with Nikon’s Silky Swift voice coil motors: AF speed is up to 3.5x faster5 compared to the first generation of this lens, and 50% quieter, plus scan time at the telephoto end is reduced and focus tracking is more accurate when zooming. Precision has also improved significantly thanks to the all-new optical formula: with fewer elements used to greater effect, the streamlined optical design takes sharpness, bokeh, and anti-glare performance to new heights while also contributing to the overall reduction in lens weight.

Pro-grade weather sealing protects the lens, and ergonomic improvements include a removable tripod collar, an ARCA-SWISS tripod foot, and a de-clickable control ring.

Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager, Nikon Europe says: “We are excited to introduce another second-generation f/2.8 pro-grade zoom. With ergonomic improvements, a new optical design, a leap in AF performance, and a significant reduction in size and weight, you get a lens with class-leading features and capabilities to work with. It’s the kind of upgrade that can take your whole Z system to the next level of performance.”

Summary of key features: NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II

• Lightest in class: weighing in at just 998 g, this next-gen S-Line lens is a full 362 g lighter than its predecessor, and 12 mm shorter.
• More speed, more stability: a fast f/2.8 aperture and 6 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction, plus Synchro VR for maximum stabilisation at the centre and edges of the frame with compatible Z cameras.
• Next-level AF: the sheer velocity of Nikon’s Silky Swift voice coil motors and the precision of the multi-focusing system gives responsiveness a massive boost while significantly reducing noise and vibrations.
• Next-gen S-Line optics: for maximum image quality and a lighter lens. Includes dual-sided aspherical lens elements, Super ED and SR glass, and Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings.
• Smoother bokeh: rounded 11-blade aperture and advanced optics produce softer bokeh that’s better defined and smoothly graded for a more natural sense of depth.
• Shorter minimum focus distance: of 0.38 m at 70mm, and 0.8 m at 200mm. Maximum magnification is 0.25x at 70mm, and 0.3x at 200mm.
• Agile for video: the internal zoom lets you change focal lengths without needing to rebalance your rig, and balance is maintained if using heavy external accessories. Focus breathing is minimised for more natural-looking transitions.
• De-clickable control ring: click on for tactile feedback. Click off for smooth, silent, stepless operation.
• Pro-grade sealing: to keep dust, dirt, and moisture at bay.
• Removable tripod collar: included, along with a protective collar. A bayonet design allows secure attachment to the lens.
• HB-119 lens hood with filter window: there’s no need to remove this hood if working with rotating filters. Handy if using variable ND filters for video.

World Wide Announcement: 24^th February 2026
Sales Start Date: March 2026
Recommended Retail Price: £2,999 (UK), €3,499 (ROI)

Viltrox has officially unveiled the AF 50mm F1.4 Pro Z, a new full-frame autofocus prime lens designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. As part of the brand’s Pro Series, the lens is positioned as a flagship standard prime for photographers and filmmakers seeking high resolution, fast performance, and professional-level control.

Powered by Viltrox’s Dual HyperVCM motor system, the lens offers fast and quiet autofocus with accurate Eye-AF tracking, while minimal focus breathing makes it suitable for video and cinematic production.

Built for demanding environments, the lens features a durable metal body with dust and splash resistance, as well as a dedicated aperture ring with click control for both photography and video workflows.

Firmware version 1.10 for the ZR significantly extends the maximum length of recording time from 125 min. to 360 min. (6hrs)¹, making it possible to shoot at events that require extended recording such as interviews, documentaries and more. The new update also supports timecode input over a wired connection via the external microphone/line input connector, making it easier to synchronise with audio recording devices and other cameras. In addition, a file-naming convention similar to that of RED cameras has been adopted, enabling more efficient data management, especially when shooting with multiple cameras.

A number of features that enhance usability have also been added, including a function that displays a warning line indicating the maximum brightness level in the brightness information display (histogram, wave-form monitor) when recording R3D NE videos in Log3G10, making exposure easier to control. The number of LUTs that can be imported from a memory card using Custom Setting [3D LUT] > [Import CUBE file] has been increased from 10 to a maximum of 50. This allows users to choose the LUT that will best match the final intent from a broader range of options while on location.

In addition, a [Power-on lamp energy saver] option has been added to the setup menu, allowing users to choose an option that keeps the power-on lamp lit at all times. This allows the user to check whether the camera is on or off at a glance, even when the monitor is closed, preventing unintentional drain on the battery while carrying or transporting the camera. Moreover, [Video file type] can now be set to [R3D NE 12-bit (R3D)] in the video recording menu even if the shooting mode is AUTO, making it possible for users to easily enjoy cinematic video recording with simple operation.

With its lightweight build, flexible wide-angle to mid-telephoto reach, and superb close-up performance, this travel-friendly full-frame zoom lens inspires discovery. Easy to carry and to handle, it’s perfect for photographers and content creators who want to explore their creative potential.

The NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 makes a brilliant travel companion and a great everyday muse. Photos or video, the 24-105mm focal-length range allows plenty of space for experimenting with framing and composition, while the smooth, fast autofocus helps to get the best out of every shot. Sharp close-up performance encourages new subjects and perspectives: users can capture beautifully balanced detail shots thanks to a short minimum focus distance at both ends of the zoom range and a 0.5x reproduction ratio.

Lightweight and sealed for comfortable portability, the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is a great walkaround lens: perfect whether capturing the vibe of a destination on a trip away or getting in valuable daily practice. It balances beautifully with smaller full-frame Z cameras like the Z5II, creating a compact kit that’s ready to go whenever the creative urge calls.

Dirk Jasper, Product Manager at Nikon Europe, comments: “With the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 we’re taking another step towards making dynamic full-frame photography attainable for even more people. If you’re just starting out on your full-frame journey, this versatile, budget-friendly zoom lens delivers the flexibility and the image quality you need to try new ideas and expand your creativity with confidence.”

• Fast, quiet autofocus: a high-speed stepping motor (STM) powers smooth, whisper-quiet AF. It performs brilliantly with a Z camera’s subject detection, and focusing sounds won’t ruin video footage.

• Travel partner: sealing helps keep out dust and drips, for worry-free portability.1

Nikon is pleased to announce the release of firmware version 3.00 for its stylish full-frame mirrorless camera, the Nikon Zf.

Firmware version 3.00 for the Zf brings the Film Grain feature, which adds a grainy effect to photos and videos with image processing. This feature allows users to fine-tune the size and intensity of grain, and changes the appearance of grain with each shot, for unique images that resemble those captured with conventional film cameras. Moreover, combining this feature with Imaging Recipes and Picture Controls, allows users to easily create unique effects with a simple press of the shutter-release button.

In total, more than twenty changes and improvements have been added to increase the Zf’s operability and functionality.
