Nikon CFO admitted that this year the direction of activity associated with the production of photographic equipment will be unprofitable. However, the company hopes that it will become profitable again in the next fiscal year.

Nikon’s previously released plan includes 27 Nikkor Z lenses, not including teleconverters. Since 16 of them have already been presented, and the manufacturer has clearly shifted the focus to the development of the Nikon Z system, it can be assumed that during the period indicated by Tokunari, all the lenses for mirrorless cameras stated in the plan will be released.
