Nikon reckons its Z-series lenses are so good, it's chucking in a five-year warranty!

Nikon lenses with a five-year warranty stamp.

Nikon Europe has announced an extended, free five-year warranty on all newly purchased Z-mount lenses. Splash out on a new Nikkor Z-series lens, and it will be covered against faults that might occur within the first five years of ownership, offering additional peace of mind.

The new warranty extends the standard one-year warranty by an extra four years and is applicable in most European countries, including the UK. It covers any Z-series lens purchased from authorized Nikon retailers, the Nikon Store, and Nikon Plazas in Europe.

It applies to lenses purchased after March 1, 2026, and covers all Nikon Z-mount lenses, including kit lenses purchased alongside a camera, and teleconverters. To qualify, you simply need to register your new Z lens within 90 days of purchase. The online process is straightforward, and your product will be covered for five years from the date of purchase.

If a claim fulfils the conditions during the extended warranty period, the lens will be repaired free of charge by authorized Nikon technicians.

It's a generous warranty, far exceeding most competing lens manufacturers.
