What was the point of increasing the size of the Nikon mount if they are still only putting 35mm sensors inside the body?Surely if they wanted to make bigger lenses it would only make sense to make sensors that go up to an optional 100mp?
>>4379711Making a mount larger than the sensors makes optical focus breathing correction simpler. Nikon’s vision for Z mount has always been video-centric. What matters more to photographers is cover glass design which alters IR transmission and therefore colors, and the usability of lenses that rely on steep ray angles like leica UWAs. Even E mount is more than enough for you. It can support f0.7 primes and sony can make f1.4s that beat out nikon’s f1.8s. They could even make a pancake, if they had so little self respect they’d release their first externally focusing lens in almost a decade. What they CANT do is design a lens that needs ultra thin cover glass because their sensor cover glass is ultra thick, and the thick glass takes more IR out of colors which is why sony colors look totally neutral and nikon (thin glass) colors have a weird vibrance from the extra IR and how it is processed by the camera into the .NEF format.
>>4379711They didn't design the mount just for the sensors they're currently using, or thinking about using. The F mount was their big thing for six decades, they can't predict where things will have ended up by 2070 so they just made sure to have a decent amount of space for literal and figurative growth in there.
It's not even that big, literally just 1mm more than Canon RF. By comparison Fuji's G mount is a whole 10mm more.
>>4379711better potential lens design, greater lens adaptability
>>4379711The larger mount allows for more light at a given aperture. It's why I switched to Z mount.
>>4379720Strange, usually IR pollution washes out the image. Are you sure its not just software?
>>4379711>can adapt everyone else's lens>nobody can adapt yours>can go to a >35mm sensor if needed>mogs sony's baby mount
>>4379720> the thick glass takes more IR out of colors which is why sony colors look totally neutral and nikon (thin glass) colors have a weird vibrance from the extra IRthis is total mystical nonsense lmao
>>4379711>What was the point of increasing the size of the Nikon mount if they are still only putting 35mm sensors inside the body?Better, smaller lenses.
>>4379832Thats not how optics work. Exit pupil distance and ray angle relationships change, not light gathered. Also image space tele-centricity becomes possible, which is important for video fags. >>4379877And thats not a better lens by a mile. No de clickable aperture ring, no internal silent focusing, no filter threads, and it vignettes 3 stops wide open. Its about as good as the samyang remaster slim if you gave samyang nikons equipment for the sharpness bump. The actual optics in it are hilariously undersized. Curiously both the 24 and 26 suffer from the same optical problem: they render flat, and don’t have sharp edges or corners at any aperture. Nikon should have made a 24mm f2.8 that was normal instead of a marketing stunt. They also should have copied fuji and leica instead of putting PASM on a retro camera, and added click/declick aperture rings instead of permanently declicked control rings. But if Nikon ever did what photographers think they should have, they wouldnt have ceded the #2 spot to sony and wouldnt be in the process of ceding the #3 spot to fuji. Now canon is adding aperture rings to their design language and is going to surprise drop an ae1 inspired retro camera with r6ii like guts and an aperture ring having f2.8 muffin lineup before 2028 and basically bitch slap nikon down to where olympus and panasonic live. Don’t tell any rumors sites about the canon.
>>4379877how is it better if it gets curb stomped by canon’s cheaper 28mm with a smaller mount??? explain this niggors. how can the superior mount have an inferior pancake?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens#Image-space_telecentric_lensesSo let me get this straight. z mount is so huge, nikon CAN make lenses with industrial grade focus breathing resistance. 0 size change no matter where the lens focuses. But basically every fucking lens they make has some noticeable focus breathing. Why?
what's the deal with this pancake autist
>>4379891Pretty sure the even older EFS 24mm beats the shit out of the nikon 26mm
>>4379894pancake sister likes shitty lenses because they make her camera more cute and purseable and the bad optics add charm to her instagram selfiesother famous pancake users: taylor swift (olympus kit zoom)
>>4379899anon nikon is literally throwing away stills dr to bump up their video specs, if you want videographers to die you want nikon to die
>>4379797>>4379832>>4379868>>4379877These are the correct answers OP.
>>4379711I think they are potentially thinking about doing a sensor larger than full frame.
>>4379915But none of it is true, or else canon chads and snoyboys wouldnt be mogging nikon into oblivion rn.
>>4379711To allow for superior lens designs
>Make a new body with a larger than ff sensor>Use the old lens mount>None of the current lenses are designed to cover the larger sensorWhat's the point? You're going to have to bring out a bunch of new lenses and label them as larger than ff anyway, it's just going to confuse people, Yeah you'll be able to use then on the ff and crop bodies but you'll just be paying more for a larger and slower lens, no one's adapting modern medium format lenses to ff bodies.
>>4379917Just imagine how much greater the mogging would be if Sony had a larger mount
>>4380028There's a difference between covering, and being designed to cover. There are some crop lenses that can cover full frame but then you get shitty edges.
>>4379933superior lenses in just 2 more years nikon bros
