This announcement raises several questions.

What I find puzzling is why the lenses are to be only offered in Nikon F mount, a trial balloon perhaps?


Nikon was the easiest one to do, so it makes sense to do it first. The Nikon diaphragm linkage is completely mechanical.


As a gesture to its supporters, Z should, at the very least, also make these lenses available in the C/Y mount, particularly if they are updated designs.


That would also be easy to do. But there are probably several thousand Nikons in use for every C/Y camera.


Wonder if the much sought after 21 Distagon will be offered in Nikon F or other mounts?

I hope so.
