I think it is more than a rumour. Nikon will inevitably move their development to the Z mount which means the glorious F mount will shrivel away. I purchased a 105mm f1.4 AFS at a great price as it was a lens I always wanted.

Such a shame as the F mount has been running for years and got a lot of people into Nikon because of the selection of lenses old and new.

Thank You JK, and that 105 f1.4 is something that I want to have myself, still costly though, in another threat I asked about the infinity performance of the micro 105 f2.8,..never got that one, but obtained the 24-70 VR ,Lovely lens but not exactly what I was after , but then obtained the 105 f2.0 DC , which among other capabilities has a Fabulous infinity....and yet, when an Affordable 105 f1.4 comes along ......

Very sorry to hear that as a lot of people still using older Niikons and getting good results but are retired or just not able to upgrade to Z even if they wanted to. I am very pleased I sold all my Nikon equipment at a very good price at the right time and moved to Sony.

Optically , the 105 f2.0 DC is more than I could ask for,but it has no VR..well , neither has the 105 f1.4,so there..I think that VR is the Best invention since digital photography. Sony vs. Nikon, you know, I have noticed a bunch of Z 2nd. handers for sale ...Zfc...Z7..for reasonable prices,and Z lenses, my gawd, even overhere there are about five 2nd. hand Z lenses up for grabs, ...incl. a 24-70 f4.0 and even a 400 f4.5 which would qualify as pro-glass, whats going on...is the Nikon Z perhaps somewhat disappointing then ?...why would a long time Nikon photog. go to Sony ?..look,f. ex. Fuji or Canon, would be somewhat understandable....I`m not getting this,....having said that,..I have noticed that the design team at Nikon seems to be on the " young" side,perhaps all technically astute, without the understanding of practical use of things, look at Nikon`s latest offering , the " Plena " , lots of fanfare there, but it is a 135mm f1.8 , coming in way after " like-offerings " from the competition,and ,that it is a tad narrower and a smidgen less weighty with a bit more even rendition is not really a dealbraker is it, as it is not exactly a major break-through,but is considered by some more of a " me too " optic, ...where are the innovations ?..I am Baffled to say the least.

I hope it is allright to link to a Test/Review of the " Plena " : https://info.xitek.com/reviews/202310/26-365454_3.html#artPos ..in my opinion it does not do better than my Nikkor 135 f2.0 ai-s on the D3X , a lens which harkens all the way back from F3 days...well not that much compared to real day to day use anyway..
