Don't think the F mount adaptors will be available from the get go.

One of the big unknowns is how it will deal with the AI indexing, will there be a motor in the adaptor...

The camera specific, 'Z' mount lenses will likely be magnetic diaphragm, sort of linear motor, therefor electronic.

Many of the likely adopters of this new camera will have manual F mount lenses and keen to use them to their full potential on the new camera.


With mirrorless you dont need to focus at full aperture especially when you manual focus as the EVF can light magnify to provide equivalent EVF brightness. There are many differences in mirrorless whose operation is so different to a DSLR. The physical differences are obvious but the real advantages are the ability to pre-visualise the exposure so you can under/over expose to get your desired result.
The fly-by-wire aperture, focus for AF, etc, give us huge opportunities but of course some frustrations with dirty contacts and battery life.
There are always advantages and disadvantages.
