Originally posted by luftfluss Nikon's recent release of its second iteration of the FTZ adapter - cleverly named FTZ II - is evidence that Nikon is committed to providing continued legacy support for AF-S lenses. Folks claiming otherwise are simply interested in spreading FUD.
Actually, that's not the issue.
The issue for most Nikonians in the world - who own F mount, not Z mount - is that new Nikon lenses won't work on their camera, there is no adapter for that.
Kphoto63 and I are like many of those Nikon owners - we don't buy another camera for the sake of it, we get as much use as we can out of the ones we bought.
For all the dollars spent on publicity, Nikon's failed to sell mirrorless even to Nikonians, let alone the owners of other brands.
Again, I think this is tragic, because they were the Number 2 company, now Number 3, and failure of a market leader reflects on the industry as a whole.
I want all the camera companies (and I shoot several brands, my first camera was my dad's Olympus film body) in this great hobby of ours to succeed. But I know that's not possible.
