Great lens range. Makes Nikon effort look very poor.
I am surprised that lens range is such an issue, over 100 current Nikon lenses are available and any current Nikon user is unlikely to ditch their current bodies and embrace the Z series immediately. If, as I suspect, Nikon's aim is to appeal to their current user base first they have made the right moves. If the intent is to attract new users immediately then, yes they have probably made a mistake.

If I were Nikon I would want to prevent all those F mount lenses appearing on the second hand market at the same time. Too many used lenses being available could depress sales of new lenses. Also if trade in values are high buying a new camera is easier, financially, we shall see.
