Arrival of Nikon mirrorless (finally!)

[longzoom]

With almost full frame of AF sensors, what is great, without presence of  closest object AF function, (or better analogy, of course),  there will be problem with sport, or any other unpredictable multiple chaotic objects moving. I will be really glad to be wrong. BTW, the outer mount of the adapter has 5 screws, thanks God!  LZ

ok. drive by wire? not with AFS I guess?

Each Z lens has a step motor that does the actual focusing. Not sure about the Z Noct. Nobody could give a clear answer apart from the Noct being "manual focus".

Currently I am wondering about the image circle of the Z-line lenses, and whether there are reserves for a future larger sensor format

There is some gap to be expected to the AF systems we know from D5 or D500

It will for sure be different - Completely different technology both lens and camera!

Erik, I am very interested in how the Nikon Hybrid AF works (and is it different from Sony).   Sometimes the Sony Hybrid gives me fits. It is very fast to get PDAF very fast but then wants to micro adjust in CDAF.  There are times when that causes me to miss the moment and other times focus slightly off.  I do better using a Leica M 90 2.8 (or appropriate FL) with the Techart pro since it only uses the PDAF (as long as distance is very close to same as last distance.  I would often prefer to get a slightly less sharp image , but sharp enough, rather than miss the shot.

maybe we should just close this and continue on the other one?

just keep this for reference's sake.
