This rumor is now more likely to be true: Nikon Z8 coming in September for a very competitive pricing

How2Fly predicted two rumors lately: That this week Tamron would announce a new wide angle lens and that Nikon would announce the Z8 in September. Well, today Tamron announced the new 20-40mm f/2.8 FE lens (all info here). So I guess this means this Nikon Z 8 rumors has a good chance to be correct too. This is what he wrote:

No Z7 III or Z6 III this year, but Z8 will arrive in September, no later than October. And The pricing of Z 8 is quite appealing(lower than expected).

How2fly also added the screenshot above showing the Z 8 name within the Nikon USA HTML code…
