"Alan Browne" wrote in message Don't worry ... this has been Nikon's one point of long standing honor (with its many exceptions...). If they changed mounts now they would have a stampede heading for Canon and they know it. That doesn't sound like honor. That sounds more like hanging on for dear life! I used the word 'honor' because it is a strategy that Nikon adopted back in the 70's (80's?) to maintain a lens mount back to 1959. They maintained that strategy through the present which is one of the strong pillars of their success and user loyalty. If Nikon make a new F-mount film camera in 2009, it will work with lenses built in 1959 (with some *wee* compromises to be sure). 50 years of consistency can't be sneezed at. If Nikon do do a new mount, the benefits of it will have to be astounding to retain their customer base.
