Did it say what the update was for? The only update I could find was from 2016 and predated my lens build date.

Yes. It is that one. It affects autofocus.
My lens also had to go in 2015 for VR issue.
You put in your lens SN to check. If yes Nikon pays shipping both ways.

The Z7 and 24-200 combo is very light (2.8 lb), ideal for traveling. But I have not gone anywhere with the new lens except backyard!
The first photo is straight out of camera, a solar panel installation job on my neighbor’s roof. The amber color cast was due to forest fire impact throughout California. The next two are with some editing. I am happy with details which are pretty decent. I have not yet compared it with 24-70, 70-200 f/2.8 but for the price and light weight, I am thrilled.

And also, why do you have to send it in for a firmware update? It’s simple to do yourself.

Why doesn't Nikon make a 24-200 for a full frame ?
Uh, that is what we are discussing.
Are you asking if they have an F mount one? They do have a 28-300. I just sold mine.

Interesting. I was sure I’d done it before the same way as the camera. Maybe that was the Panasonic.

It depends on the item and the date of manufacture. I was able to update my WR-10 remote through the camera. Older ones had to be sent to Nikon.

Has anyone gotten theirs yet?
If so, do you mind sharing when ordered and received and who from?
Ordered last month from Adorama and they have no clue on availability.

I ordered it in July and got it 2 weeks ago. I ordered from a local camera store here in Colorado

Nikon does have a firmware program that tells the camera about lens corrections. You can update that firmware in camera.
But the firmware I addressed is in the lens. Nikon does not provide the ability to update that. I believe the lens has to be partially disassembled to access the firmware.
Some lenses like Tamron do have user update capability.
Sent the lens out yesterday.

Thanks. I’ve decided to be patient on that and satisfy my GAS by getting a Z50 2 lens kit to amuse while waiting.

The Z50 with kit lenses are a good choice. It was the biggest Nikon surprise I had this year. I also have all the other Zs.

You're going to enjoy the Z50. I got it with the 2 kit lenses and it covers what I want in an easy to carry kit.
It won't replace my Z6, but it gets used more than I expected.
