 p.1 #5 · Mock-up of Nikon Z SP | |
I would only be interested if Nikon were to release a matching lens series at the same time.
I wouldn't be keen on such a concept with plastic lenses in the Z 40/2 category and the like.
Even the Z 26/2.8 category, and especially the Z 40/2, already looks huge in the pictures, which would be a poor fit for the majority of high-quality Z lenses.
If it's a viewfinder camera, then it should be consistent, so if I ever had too much money, I would go with Leica and, on the lens side, Cosina with their wonderful Voigtlander VM lenses.
From that perspective, it's absolutely uninteresting to me, and I don't see Nikon delivering a high-quality series of matching, compact, yet high-quality optics to go with it.
Far too unergonomic for my Z lenses – just imagine the camera with a Plena.
But even a Z 50/1.8 S would look huge on the camera.
Give it a M-mount and I'd be immediately interested, but not with the current Z-mount lens range.
With matching, super-compact, yet optically high-quality MF lenses available, that will last for decades, such as those for the M-mount, I would be thrilled.
As it stands, it remains an inconsistent retro hype concept without matching lenses.
A retro look without a genuine retro feel, without retro soul.
As advantageous as the large Z-mount and the design of most lenses are in many areas, they are disadvantageous in a retro concept like this, where compactness is important.
Sure, you can add a few more Nikkor plastic-mount lenses, but if I personally want retro, then I want it consistently, meaning small and compact on the lens side, with an aperture ring, and as high-quality as possible in terms of craftsmanship and optics within the size limitations, which brings me to Leica, Voigtlander VM lenses and the M-mount.
