From Nikon Rumors:Sigma and Tamron discontinuing 40 DSLR lenses, and Nikon discontinues 35 F DSLR lenses. Does it matter in the marketplace?

No, the scariest moment is when you turn it on for the first time and realize it isn't just like your old DSLR -- you think "What the crap have I gotten myself into!"
I can beat that. The scariest moment is when you turn it on after dropping it and the viewfinder stays black. Then you realize it has switched to LCD and you are looking thru the EVF.

Walked out this morning

A hundred million DSLRs
Had washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in going mirrorless
Now there's a hundred million DSLRs
That no longer have a home

You're lying. There isn't any homeless DSLR.

There are some out of work,
plus the ones {like my two Canon Rebels} incapable of working any more, which ended up in the town dump.

They live in the dumpster. Not on the beach like he said. But broken cameras are all types including mirrorless. They break too.

Interesting list of Nikkor lenses. Many of those are older style lenses that have not been high sales lenses. Not surprising.
Another interesting take away is this, where is Canon and Sony? Does this mean that Sony and Canon lenses sell better than Sigma, Tamron and Nikon DSLR lenses.
Seems only the future will tell.
As Nikon and Canon move away from DSLR's I am sure we will be seeing more discontinuing of DSLR equipment.
The first order of most companies is to push what sells and stop producing what does not. Again, most companies are driven by profits, products that do not maintain profits are in jeopardy.

Totally agree. I have accumulated a dozen DSLR lenses, mostly Nikkor/Nikon through the used market and will continue as needed. Most of my lenses and also DSLRs have not been produced new in years but I purchase them in like new or excellent condition. Thanks to the mirrorless craze the market is flooded with great DSLR gear at great prices.
That is a true statement.
But my main interest is in bird photography, after using DSLR's for years I have found that mirrorless camera's and lenses allow me to up my game and produce better images than with my older DSLR's.
My hope is that you have purchased some of my beautiful but no longer useful Nikon lenses.

Interestingly enough, as I already commented, with my small-sensored MILC Q-7, my Canon FD-mount 50mm seems to give better images than my highly regarded Pentax Takumar 50mm does. I have to try each lens to see how it handles the inner cylinder used by that camera.

There are several homeless SLRs couch surfing at my place. With their obsolete skill sets they are having great difficulty competing for employment. They have important histories but no real futures.

Obsolete skill set?
Mine produce photos just fine.

I checked your archive. DSLRs are quite suitable. Likewise 1940s Kodaks as used by Skip Clark in the 1970s.

Your future self will thank you for buying a mirrorless camera today.
You get high marks for persistence and redundancy. No matter the topic..."It's the same old song" Mirrorless, Canon, Mirrorless, Canon, Mirrorless, Canon, Mirrorless, Canon, Mirrorless, Canon. Are you the original inventor? Do you have a patent?

Older and wiser voices can help you find the right camera brand, especially when you are willing to listen to those who shoot Canon.
