"Get ready for rapid expansion" Here is a recap of a recent internal Nikon presentation - a lot of interesting information: Nikon plans to have 24 different Z-mount lenses by the end of 2021 (see roadmap). The Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens and the two new Z converters have the same release date: within 30 days (end of August or early September). The two new Z converters will only work with the Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 Z mount lens (Adorama | B&H | Amazon). Later, the two teleconverters will work with the 100-400mm and 200-600mm lenses shown on the lens roadmap (total of 3 lenses so far). The D500, D5, D850 DSLR cameras will get a firmware update for CFexpress memory cards, just like the Z6 and Z7. The Nikkor "S-Line" of Z-mount lenses are Nikon's superior/best lenses and are like the gold ring F-mount lenses. The 200-600mm and 100-400mm and 105mm macro are the three new lenses that will most likely be announced next year. The upcoming Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S-line lens has three rings: focus, zoom, and "Freedom" ring. The "Freedom" ring can be set up in a different way (change ISO setting and other settings). The lens will be released by the end of the year. DSLR has about 65% of the light hitting the sensor. The mirrorless bodies have 90% of the light hitting the sensor. How long will Nikon continue to support the F-mount? The response: F-mount has been around since 1959 and Nikon is not planning to walk away...
