I am curious about how to pronounce the new Nikon Z's. Is it Z7 II as in roman numerals, or is it Z7 two? Not interested in owning one as I don't money to buy the glass to get to where I am with y D810.

I believe most people (now) would pronounce it "two" as it is a written representation of a count of two.
Just like "2" is a written representation.
BUT, maybe the Romans when describing multiple units would say "I have eye-eye pets"....
Anyone know the Roman spoken word for "II"? Maybe the pronunciation they used was different that what we (would) use.
How does one pronounce the Canon 5D Mark IV???
I know how "I" pronounce it.....
and it's not "ivy".

They would sound the same to the ear. However the Roman version must always be accompanied with expressive hand gesturing and the sweet aroma of garlic.

Uh, the type of numerals it is written in don't change it, it is still "two". Though when used at the end of someone's name they are usually verbalized as second, third etc.

Besides the longer I have been retired the less I care about typos as long as it isn't a wrong word that changes the meaning of what I was saying.
