[QUOTE="wornish, post: 469818, member: 15434"] I was nervous when I bought my first non Nikon lens for the same reasons , but I am glad I did. This issue has been raised quite a few times on here and elsewhere. If the lens works with your current cameras at their current firmware levels then you are OK. If Nikon change the camera firmware so it won't support a 3rd party lens that does work on todays firmware, then don't upgrade the firmware. I am sure thousands of people would shout if they did try do that and remember they are also risking all their installed base of legacy lenses which can't be updated so it would be a crazy step. As for new camera bodies no one knows. If they bring out a new mount then again it hits all their installed base like when they introduced DX and CX lenses. All the major compatible lens manufacturers have been around for years and I am not aware of anything like what you fear happening. [/QUOTE]
