A Professional's Playground: Nikon Delivers a Robust Lineup of Educational Presentations and the Most Innovative Imaging Gear at WPPI 2020
Las Vegas, WPPI Booth #421 —
Visit the Nikon booth to see the latest additions to the growing line of NIKKOR Z lenses, including the essential 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S telephoto zoom, the 20mm f/1.8 S wide angle prime and the 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR all-in-one zoom lens. NIKKOR Z lenses are acclaimed for their optical superiority, and WPPI is the chance for show attendees to get first-hand experience with this expansive optical system including the award-winning 24-70mm f/2.8 S, the incredibly sharp 85mm f/1.8 S and the ultra-fast 58mm f/0.95 NOCT lens.
The Z 7 and Z 6 full-frame mirrorless cameras will feature the latest firmware updates, giving attendees the chance to discover how the Z series is a platform built to evolve, as Nikon continues to enhance performance and functionality to adapt to the latest technology and user feedback. Nikon will also display the new D780, a powerfully versatile DSLR that’s great for professionals shooting portraits, weddings, fashion, maternity, landscapes and everything in between.
Throughout the show, Nikon Ambassadors and pro photographers will take the stage to discuss a wide range of topics and share their inspiring stories from the field. Whether it be mastering creative lighting or a deep dive into building a successful brand, the presentations and panels at the Nikon Theater will inspire attendees to take their photography and business to the next level.
