Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous spaces.

Now I have to go in and delete all the keyboard shortcuts which I painstakingly created to insert that extra space automatically for every Nikon Z model. At least I hadn’t gotten around to the Z50ii yet.

Space, zee final frontier…
Well I need to send my new Z 6iii back to Nikon for a warranty repair. The top plate needs replacing to reflect the new name w/o the space. I especially need it to match my new Z50ii or else I won’t have a matching set.
Oh wait, I see the brand new yet to be released Z50ii has a space on the top plate; official marketing photos show Z 50ii :-|

Be content in the knowledge that all the world, apart from one country, calls it Zed. :-D

Gee, might that be the country that steadfastness refuses to use the metric system ?

I wonder when Zed started to be pronounced Zee and why it caught on.
I think of the letter Bee and why all of us who say ZED don't call it Bed, instead.
But then why is EF; pronounced EF and not Fee or FED, instead.
Funny thing how language evolves.
As for Nikon the Japanese pronunciation I guess is correct. But when I look at how we spell it in English I think America is right to call it Nykon. I think the correct way to spell Nikon in English in order to say I'm pronounced Nikon is to spell it Nikkon.
Loki is pronounced low - key
Lokki is the short `o' version of the spelling
But anyway I don't know I'm not from England or America I'm from Striya mate!

I've heard a lot of people surmise that. I don't know that I ever read anything official, however. Why not just use "N" in that case. Yeah, I know they had a line of film camera models back in the '80s that used an N.
If it were me at the helm, if I chose Z as the new mount and camera line it would be more for something like "this is the best and last mount you will ever need. End of the line."

Over time, that will save many keystrokes.

The D series never had the space, so adding the space never made sense to me, other than to "think different".

If it was supposed to be prnounced Nykon, then the Japanese would have spelled it as Naikon - same as Daikon, Saimon etc.

I never thought Nikon perceived they have put on the brand new Z mount a Gas Screw Thread, instead of a Metric one.
I never thought Nikon perceived an infant of three has written their brand new camera name.
I never thought Nikon to perceive they have Customers, that need respect
I always thought Nikon knew what they're doing on a technical side
( but ignorants managed the rest of the company )
