[Leica] Nikon mirrorless

[Ken Iisaka]

Not so sure about that. If all the existing AF-F mount lenses can be used
via adapter, this can truly signal the end of SLRs.

Sony was the first to the market, with a full 35mm sensor, but having to
invest in a new set of lenses prevented many from making the jump. If Nikon
can pave a path for smoother transition, with full compatibility with
legacy accessories, as it has historically done, I can see many people
embracing the new standard.

Nikon's previous mirrorless standard was indeed a failure, trying to avoid
cannibalising the existing SLR market. But they have now seen that the SLR
era is over.
