wow i really didn’t think anyone would read that...It’s my opinion that’s all. the reason i think the z lens superior technologically is that it always has the potential to gather more light as it’s a larger diameter mount. I’m not a young i’m 48 and i’ve shot with a few d750s since 2015 so i am not an early adopter. it comes down to this for me , the sensor and lens reproduce what i’m trying to capture every time and in a way that no other camera system has previously. Might not be for some. Others will love it.

Very shortly now, we'll have trouble remembering cameras ever were burdened by mirrors.

The Z mount itself with the larger throat and shorter flange distance allows designs that weren’t possible with the F mount and DSLR lenses in general.

A few data points:
The Z-mount lenses are superior.
How/why are Z- mount lenses superior? Better glass? Better manufacturing? ??????
Some might be better than some F-mount lenses but then again some F-mount lenses might be better than all Z-mount lenses. I doubt that all Z-mount lenses are better than all F-mount lenses which your statement implies.

Mirrorless cameras are a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. Images captured from behind a mirror are cold, heartless and uncaring.

How does the Z50 not match up to the D500?
Seems to have superior features such as focus peaking.

I was shooting with the Z50 today. The results were fine, but as I walked along, spotted a subject (pony) and had to wait for the camera to wake up it was very annoying. One other thing that bothers me with the Z is how (at least with some lenses) it keeps VR running even while the camera 'sleeps'. Nikon claims it is to avoid further delay when the camera wakes. I noticed it with my two big lenses and originally thought something was wrong. First was with an 800mm and again with a 400mm on a Z6.
I limit the use of my Z cameras to the Z lenses I have, 2 FF and 2 DX.

I don’t think the f mount will go away since there are so many users. May not see a whole lot of new lens development since R&D will lean to mirrorless but there are hundreds of great used lenses to pick from both Nikkor and third party. Personally I already have a dozen, more than I need and another reason not to switch to the z mount. Having a hard time using all of the ones I have especially with the social distancing.

Nostalgia I guess. Maybe it’s a reminder that I too am becoming more a part of the past than the future.
My kids say that I have always been part of the past. Guess that’s OK.

Something about reflexion is just so wonderful and warm, a mirror is love.
Deep beyond the reflective surface, a mirror is a view to the soul.
A mirror is a beautiful thing.
An image taken without a mirror is cold, soulless.

Just remind them that some day they will be part of the past. It's inevitable.

For youth it’s a matter of perspective. When I was 21 I had a girlfriend whose father was 42, twice as old as I was. I thought that was ancient.

In the stock market the chances that you can sell for more than you bought is better than 50%. For camera gear? It's like 0%.
