Its Mikes Japanese accent coming thru"What to expect from nikon early nexy rear"
Interesting subject line.
im more interested to see if tamron or sigma will release an 85 1.4. or even 1.8 stabilized.
My next camera will likely be a D750 (or maybe another D700 if cheap enough) or a mirrorless one, like th eSony a6000. Let's see if Nikon can beat the Sony a6000 in the next few months...

Personally, I think Nikon has given up on catching the top 3 in mirrorless cameras for the time being. I don't see or hear of any new lenses or patents for Nikon mirrorless cameras. You might say I'm crazy, "don't you know Nikon already has a mirrorless camera?" Sure I do, but nothing Nikon has put out or has been rumored to be putting out will compare to what already exists in the mirrorless world.
Well, new patents would signal development for something actually in the process of being produced on a higher level than that currently being offered. The other part of your question I kind of glumped together....I think now that you mention it, patents for NEW mirrorless body(ies) would be considered to have someone believe that Nikon is breaking new ground in the development of a mirrorless system. So far, it seems that Nikon has just thrown out a subpar endeavor of a mirrorless camera and left it taking on water. There's no plan or substance to it. If Nikon is serious, they will blueprint a mirrorless program designed to appeal to the masses. So far, they only appeal to those desperate for a Nikon mirrorless body. Something mirrorless with Nikon stamped on it. In the meantime, Sony, Canon, Olympus, and Fuji are filling the needs and wants of a growing cadre of both pros and enthusiasts who yearn for a mirrorless gem that is worthy of "camera of the year" status.Assuming the full frame mirrorless body used the history of Nikon F mount lenses, would there need to be patents for new lenses to signify progress? Or you mean patents for the mirrorless body/bodies themselves?But yeah, I think I agree with you on this.
Fx mirrorless is the only item I'd be interested in, would be a big leap for Nikon.
What I've heard from my local Nikon dealer is that we could see a APCS mirror less Nikon sometimes next year. Again, this is only a rumor but it would make sense if Nikon wants to stay in the game. It would be very nice if the mirror less would take the F-mount lenses with full functions (auto-focus and aperture). But maybe this would only be available with an adapter (I wouldn't mind as long as all functions work).
Again, fortune telling is not my strongest point...
