Nikon Z full frame mirrorless system
see also:
Introduction
announced August 2018 and the Z7 will be available late Sept 2018, while the Z6 will be available late Nov 2018
thankfully, this system has been designed with a much wider lens mount diameter than the Sony or the Nikon F - 55mm inner diameter and a 16mm flange focal distance which means that theoretically it can accept lens down to f/0.65 (the Nikon F mount could only do AF lenses down to f/1.4, in reality, it is unlikely Nikon will be releasing a f/0.65 lens and if it did it would be very large and very expensive)
optional Nikon FTZ Z-to-F mount lens adapter which costs $US250
Nikkor F lenses without VR will get 3 axis sensor based IS
Nikkor F lenses with VR will get 3 axis DUAL IS with the sensor providing the 3rd axis
Nikon mount Sigma lenses should function EXCEPT some interchangeable lenses shipped out before November 2013 that are not compatible with the latest DSLR cameras will not operate
1)
lenses that do not incorporate an AF drive motor will operate only in manual focus
