Several F-mount lenses are also gone, including the 120-300mm f/2.8E and 35mm f/1.4G. B&H still has inventory on some.

Nikon Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S: Oct 29 Announcement
Nikon is announcing the Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S on October 28/29, per Nikon Rumors. The lens carries a built-in 1.4x teleconverter, weighs around 2,590g, and is rumoured to be priced above $16,000 USD, which would put it above the Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S as the priciest lens in the Z lineup. Very limited production is expected, with long wait times flagged.
