[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 813344, member: 48483"] It is just my speculation, but I think the first FTG has that squared-off bottom because that is exactly where they put the AF servo motor in the D80-D7xxx series DSLR. I suspect they tried it in prototype and had a reason to delete the motor. It may have been an imposed price limit, it may have been a technical problem. Perhaps some lenses were drawing too much current through the Z-mount electrical contacts in testing. [/QUOTE]
