SUMMARY
While some high-end Nikon Z lenses are still made in Japan, Nikon has expanded lens production to Vietnam, with the Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens now reportedly produced there. This move, suggested by an image showing 'Made in Vietnam' on the lens barrel, may be influenced by US tariffs on goods from China. Nikon already has an established presence in Vietnam, where other camera brands also manufacture products. Potential price increases are noted as a general concern across consumer electronics due to economic factors.
