Digitalkamera.de updated their initial interview with Nikon on the Z mirrorless cameras (see all previous Z interviews). You can use the AF Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D ED lens with the FTZ adapter on the Nikon Z6/Z7 (it is not included in the preliminary list of incompatible lenses) however, fisheye lenses (6mm f/5.6, 7.5mm f/5.6, 8mm f/8, 10mm f/5.6) are generally not compatible. The Nikon Z7 currently doesn't offer menu option "negative digitization" like the D850 for using the ES-2 adapter. The new Nikon Z-mount is optimized for full-frame sensors and Nikon has no plans for any medium format cameras.

Third-party lens manufacturers can produce lenses for Z-mount, but they have to reverse engineer the Z-mount interface. Nikon will continue to develop both DSLR and mirrorless cameras and lenses.

The new Z 35mm f/1.8 S mirrorless lens, for example, has a better performance than the current AF-S 35mm f/1.8G ED DSLR lens. The Nikon Z 58mm Noct S is a manual focus lens because it is very difficult and expensive to move large and heavy glass elements with an AF motor. It takes approximately 2.5...
