More of the same messages but some new revelations. Ohshita is surprisingly candid. However, Nikon has officially teased an additional 9 new Z Nikkors in its 90th Anniversary page.
"In rare but welcome candor, Ohshita admits that there are some F-mount lenses that he hopes come to the Nikkor Z system. Although Nikon has made significant progress with its Nikkor Z lineup, there are still some gaps....
.... But rather than simply incorporating these functions into Nikkor Z lenses (without being technology-driven), I believe it would be better to consider what customers expect from these lenses and explore alternative means of providing them. It is imperative to carefully consider customer expectations and find innovative ways to meet their needs.”..."
