Nikon's own Z 120-300mm promo names the unannounced Z70
The rumor
A Nikon promo for the new Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S says that pairing the lens with "the Z70's Digital Teleconverter" reaches the equivalent of 1260mm at f/4. Nikon hasn't announced a Z70; it's the APS-C camera Nikon Rumors has been reporting. The site says it will be announced in November, and that it was likely meant to launch alongside the 120-300mm before being delayed.
