[QUOTE="Samo, post: 617202, member: 42955"] This is something I have been wondering about myself. Will this not make the new camera much like the old 3000/5000 series models where they will mount nearly all F mount lenses but they will not meter them? If that is true big whoop just break out a light meter or sunny 16. I shoot a Df (a D700, and a D300S lets not even start on film equipment) and I own a huge pile of pre Ai, Ai, and Ais lenses. For what I shoot and as long as I have been shooting I really don't use the in camera meter and haven't for several years now. I just watch my histograms if need be and my exposures tend to be spot on or within range for post production correction. First they gelded them and now this. From what I have read recently and if it is indeed true they are getting ready to release a whole line up of mirrorless cameras all out at once I am thinking they may indeed be going Canon and changing mounts. Nikon themselves have said they are going to be doing some major changes so maybe this is a hint of what direction they are going. If so whatever they come up with best be better than peaches and cream because if they radically change the F mount they will make many people very upset.
