Interesting interview. Mongo has much respect for the engineers who really are at the centre of the achievements in performance and convenience we all seek in equipment. They are  more than capable of it. HOWEVER, the part they play and what we get is very second fiddle to marketing strategies from Nikon and , indeed, all others manufactures. Even this so called "interview" was, in fact, really just another marketing strategy.

FYI explanation by Atsushi Suzuki, Nikon Optical Engineer and Technical Liaison, who illustrates the structure and design of the new Nikon Z mount system

the engineers had to reduce the thickness of each component so as to best minimize the flange distance....-
