Nikon has announced two new Z mount macro lenses – the Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S and the Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8. Both new lenses offer a 1:1 reproduction ratio to enable photographers to get a closer look at their favorite subjects. 

While third party macro lenses have been available for the Z mount for a while, these two new pieces of glass are the first official macro lenses for the Z mount line-up – and have been hotly anticipated.
