Nikon to repair affected Z8 bodies for free

Nikon recently issued a service advisory regarding the new Z8 mirrorless camera.

Users of the Z 8 camera have informed us that in some rare cases, a lens cannot be mounted on the camera because the lens cannot be rotated to the locked position.

The affected camera bodies are identified by serial number. Visit Nikon’s Z8 service advisory page, enter your serial number, and see if your camera is affected. If it is, you will receive a pre-paid shipping label to send your camera to the nearest Nikon service center.

My clients are reporting that the turn around time for this service is about one week.
