With the introduction of the Z-mount, Nikon began designing and releasing a new set of lens for that mount. It published a roadmap outlining forthcoming lenses when the Z-mount system was initially announced. The roadmap has been updated multiple times. As of February 2025, all lenses in the last version of the roadmap from September 2023 were released. Several lenses which were not indicated on the roadmap were released as well. On October 30, 2024, Nikon announced that it is developing a video-centric, standard zoom lens with power zoom, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm PZ. On February 13, 2025, the details of the lens were released, alongside the announcement of the first two
RED Digital Cinema cinema cameras with Z-mounts, the V-Raptor [X] and Komodo-X. In 2018, Nikon announced the development of the Z-mount
58 mm S Noct lens, reintroducing the
Noct brand historically used by Nikon for lenses with ultra-fast maximum apertures. The lens was released in October 2019.
Lens designations Nikon uses a new designation system for their Z-mount lenses. The older
F-mount Nikkor designations are no longer used, though they overlap in some areas (e.g. the VR and DX labels). Nikon also introduced the S-Line branding for especially high-performance ("superior") lenses, which is akin to
Canon's L designation or Sony's "G-Master" branding. •
S-Line — High-end lenses. Not associated with any particular function, but S-Line lenses often have additional controls or a multi-function display. •
DX — Lens only covers the DX image circle. FX cameras automatically switch to DX crop mode. •
II — indicates the second generation or version of that specific lens. •
MC —
Macro lenses with 1:1 magnification. •
Noct — branding for very large aperture of f/0.95 •
PF — . Replaces several lens elements with one PF element, reducing the size and weight of a lens. •
Plena — lens with a fully circular bokeh effect across the entire image frame, along with excellent brightness and sharpness •
PZ — Power zoom. Motorized zoom function to be used with controls on lens, camera, remote or app. •
SE — "Special Edition" lenses with exterior design matching the Nikon Zf and Zfc cameras, resembling a design from the classic Nikkor lenses released around the same time as the
Nikon FM2 film SLR camera. •
SL — "Silver Edition" lenses with exterior silver design matching the Nikon Zf and Zfc cameras •
TC — Switchable teleconverter built into the lens. •
VR —
Vibration Reduction. Uses a moving optical group to reduce the photographic effects of camera shake.

Lens lines The Nikkor Z line-up has several distinct lines of lenses, which are designed with similar handling and optical characteristics.
Teleconverters The following Nikon
teleconverters are available for use with Z-mount lenses: • Nikon Z TC-1.4x • Nikon Z TC-2.0x The Nikon teleconverters are only compatible with select Nikon Z lenses. They cannot be used in conjunction with the FTZ adapter. Z-mount teleconverters cannot be mounted on top of each other, although they can be used on the lenses that have built-in teleconverters, further extending their reach. The following lenses are compatible with the Nikon teleconverters: • Nikkor Z 70–180 mm • Nikkor Z 70–200 mm VR S • Nikkor Z 70–200 mm VR S II • Nikkor Z 100–400 mm VR S • Nikkor Z 180–600 mm VR • Nikkor Z 400 mm TC VR S • Nikkor Z 400 mm VR S • Nikkor Z 600 mm TC VR S • Nikkor Z 600 mm VR S • Nikkor Z 800 mm VR S Note that
Nikon F-mount teleconverters can be used on compatible F-mount lenses when used with an FTZ II (or FTZ) mount adapter.
