On the Nikon USA website, there are NINETY, 90, big Nine-Zero DSLR lenses still for sale. The marketing approach, although effective, is like scaring people about climate change. NOT ONE RUMOR has come true. Nikon can force us eventually if they want just like the US government can force us to buy Tesla's. That said, in 2010, 12 years ago, Sony brings out a mirrorless with interchangeable lens. That year, I meet a photographer doing a location family photoshoot using the Sony mirrorless. We talk after he finishes - he tells me that mirrorless will take over soon and time to "upgrade" ???? So, Nikon still has a d6, D850, D500 and other DSLR's. They have 90 DSLR lenses. R E L A X!!!! Got GAS? Rolaids! LOL!! P.S, I basically shoot a wedding with 4 lenses - that's all I need.

Imagine there were no mirrors
It's easy if you try
No DSLRs to slow us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the photographers happy everyday

No, it matters not one bit (to me, anyway). As much as I'd like a few more "new" lenses in my arsenal, I'd rather go with refurbished or used but well-cared for lenses to save the bucks. As for servicing, I have never, in 50 years of photography, needed a lens serviced. So "support" or availability of parts has never been an issue. I suspect that the older lenses are likely built better than the newer ones, anyway, and will probably last longer. I'm speaking about Nikon/Nikkor lenses and not the "third-party" brands, which ARE made better today than they have been in the past.

One way it might affect the market place is better availability of new lenses. They stop making the old ones they can increase capacity for the new ones.

Yup. An obvious trend. Dinosaurs tend to see progress as a conspiracy. Thaz how dinos become fossils.

Makes sense - the DSLR lines will just drag down the finances of the company...better to concentrate on mirrorless innovations/R&D. Heck, folks are still buying film era equipment on ebay and the same will continue for used DSLR equipment.

Some K-mount, F-mount, EF-mount lenses are film-era equipment.

Yes, of course, but the film camera market is totally distinct from the digital market, and has had a 10+ year jump on the DSLR fade.
