This really isn't correct, but it does represent the limit of understanding for the majority here. And for those people any camera is pretty much as serviceable as any other.

May I emphasize the importance of this statement?

I do have a D850 which I love and for the time being I have no plans to sell or trade it. As far as lens go I certainly would not invest in any new lens but a would consider a good used lens if it could be had at a great price.

Nikon D850 Is extraordinary it would be wise to step up. This is a Camera they can last you for a very very long time

Perhaps the bigget issue for the future is Nikons willingness to continue to service DSLR based technology...

If mirrorless is not in your future, I would not hesitate buying any F mount lens I might really need for my Nikon Dslr like a D850. For me, speciality lenses like a macro 105mm on a mirrorless camera could be a Z mount lens or a F mont lens. I am 79 and just got my Z9, but I plan on using my existing F mount glass on it especially for macro and long tele lenses.

That’s a long way down the road. Nothing to be worried about now.

Maaaybe...if it were me keeping DSLR, I would do some research on those cycles.

In the earlier pardigm, OEMs cease supporting a dead issue after several years. But then they sell off the parts collection and unique tools to a well known independent repair service.
Clearly, Nikon in particular no longer gives a ratzazz for the old paradigm. Fanatics ought to be gathering some spares while the gathering is good.

Is there a list of places that have these parts and equipment to service no longer supported gear?

I doubt if there is any one place that can service any obsolete camera. Not only that, when you're talking about film cameras, the people who once serviced them are mostly retired or dead. But if you happen to know of someone who could skillfully do a CLA on a Nikon FTn.....

Unfortunately there isnt any "National Association of Fixers of Olde Stuff" to publish a list. Youre pretty much stuck with Google and seeking references on forums. Try asking KEH who they use, and then ask that shop who else they would recommend when needed.
