Nikon CFO pledges to release at least 12 new lens models over the next 12 months

In a recent interview with Japanese magazine Nikkei, Nikon CFO Muneaki Tokunari revealed that the company plans to release at least 12 new lens models in the next fiscal year, which is between April 2, 2021 and March 31, 2022.

Nikon CFO admitted that this year the direction of activity related to the production of photographic equipment will be unprofitable. However, the company hopes that it will become profitable again in the next fiscal year. One of the factors that gives grounds for optimism is the decrease in depreciation charges, since in the current financial year the company has already accounted for the equipment impairment loss. This little trick will allow you to show profit even with low sales.

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 announced in the plan will be released.
