From time to time I pick up inexpensive and often old lenses and convert them to Sony E mount. I have a Sony 5000 with almost a Dx sized sensor and it has a mount to sensor distance of about 18mm, compared to Nikons about 46mm. A lot of these adaptations work reasonably well but are clumsy and not reliable, sort of like when shooting film, where a few cover shots with the D850 can on occasion, save the day. The Sony style FF will not require any bells and whistles, just the basics to see how these lenses hold up with a larger sensor.

Would I buy a Nikon mirrorless camera? Yes; I have a 1 J5, it does the job for which I bought it, just about useless in bright sunlight. No; I wouldn't buy a camera with an EVF because my experience is that they don't provide what I expect from a viewfinder. My first SLR was back in the 1970s so manual focus, as a result I use the focusing screen to determine focus acceptability. With the EVF I used the resolution was insufficient to do that leaving me to trust that the AF had got it right. Sorry but for this former MF photographer that just isn't good enough. Maybe; If the EVF resolution were good enough and the screen behaved more like a traditional focusing screen I would consider it but only if I can still use my F mount lenses.

Still using my coolpix P900 24-2000 mm. for my long shots, or small things filling the frame at 10m./30 ft.
