These Nikon F cameras with Z-mount do look seriously cool!

There is a lot of people (like me) that actually likes the sturdy and classic design of older Nikon cameras. That’s why Nikon should seriously consider to make a Nikon Z DF version (just like the DSLR) which takes inspiration from their F series. Nikoneye.com made the photoshop job to show how they would look with the Z-mount:

 

Imaging having such a Z-mount camera fully made for manual focusing shooters for old guys like me. I would buy it and you?

Nikon promises they will make lenses faster than f/0,95 for their new Z cameras!

As reported on Nikoneye we might get even faster than f/0,95 Nikkor lenses in the future! Nikon managers told at Imaging Resource

  • The amazing f/0.95 aperture of the coming 58mm lens is the starting point for super-aperture lenses, versus an end point! When I mentioned the f/0.95 aperture as a goal for the new mount, Mouri-san said that their goal was actually more ambitious than that, and that the 58/0.95 lens was just a “current point”.

Well that sounds ambitious! But Nikon didn’t tell us yet if it would be possible to add autofocus on such fast lenses. The 58mm f/0,95 that will be released in 2019 is manual focus only.
