Interesting to see your plans for lens, may be a dumb question; however, I’ll ask anyway. I don’t see plans to use any/much of your existing FX lens on the Z cameras. Is that strictly because of size or do you feel the resulting image is better? Looking for ward to your thoughts. Thanks

Wasn't sure if you were referring to @

As painful as it is, I'm waiting for the desired Z lenses to be released. For the most part the Z lenses are outperforming their cousins in F mount, given the Z7 pixel density, I want to use the best glass I can.
Another reason is, after switching systems, I've taken a significant hit on lens devaluation. I think the Z lenses will hold their value much further into the future. While I'm not a doom and gloomer about Nikon, the writing is on the wall for F mount as evident in recent Nikon interviews. Probably the only F mount I'd buy now is the 500mm 5.6; I'll probably wait for the Z 100-400 which should be great as it's an s line, f4 I'm hoping. Lenses are never an investment, but I think F mount values are going to tank in the next 5 years, so I wont buy them now.
I think it's a great time to buy into Z now, to get the most resale for F mounts, before they decline in value. Nikon is supportive with the last 2 bodies released, but I'll bet in 3-4 years they will re-evaluate any consumer grade F mount Bodies. By then they will have a pro Z body out, the Z 2.8 Trinity (wedding photographers) and Hopefully a 500mm or 600mm prime to attract Pro sports and wildlife shooters.
So that's it, get out while you can (lol, I'm kidding...., but not really)
