MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nikon Inc. is pleased to announce the development of the NIKKOR Z CINEMA T1.9 VV series of cinema lenses, designed for the cinema, high-end productions, and creators, aiming to provide them with high-quality solutions. The series will be comprised of nine lenses, including the NIKKOR Z CINEMA 50mm T1.9 VV.
The NIKKOR Z CINEMA T1.9 VV series will further enrich the visual expression of the NIKKOR Z CINEMA line through a new design philosophy that delivers both the rendering performance required by the cinema industry and the practicality needed in professional production environments. In addition, this will be the first NIKKOR lens series to feature an image circle large enough to cover the V-RAPTOR [X] VV sensor**, which is larger than a full frame sensor. The lenses will also feature a highly precise autofocus mechanism to support creators’ workflows.
Nikon will continue to contribute to the development of imaging culture that includes the field of cinema, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression. Filmmakers and content creators can expect great things from the new synergy between Nikon and RED.
