p.1 #1 · Nikon possibly suing Viltrox?


NR is reporting Nikon may be suing Viltrox:
https://nikonrumors.com/2026/01/17/rumors-from-china-nikon-is-suing-viltrox.aspx/

Hopefully, this is either not true or Viltrox seriously infringed on Nikon IP, such as copying an optical design. If this is some silly thing over say AF protocols, that would be very disappointing to me. In my opinion, we need more Z lenses, not less, and Viltrox being available for Nikon Z is a big advantage of Nikon Z over Canon R.

I was surprised I did not find a topic for it, but the typo in the title kept it from coming up in search
