I don't see an application of this lens for the things I shoot. So, no. Even if it were only $1000, I wouldn't.

What?

That level of civility is rare around here. Bravo.

That would be important information to be disclosed in your first reply. I agree. That may be what you meant to say, but 24MP+ includes 24 MP in common usage.

But is it optically as good?

Not spoiler. Straw man.

I hope for it to be optically excellent in a reasonably lightweight package. We'll see soon enough, I guess.

Lesson to be learned from that ranking (with the A7r III at around #30) is that FF is still a minor market in terms of numbers of units sold.

I think it's a no-brainer. I'm waiting for the 14-30/4 and the new 14-24/2.8 because I don't shoot much in the 24-70 mm range, otherwise I would've switched already.

Bokeh doesn't mean "lots of blur" or "heavy blur". Just sayin'.

Possibly due to the space needed to put the AF contacts on the lens mount. Just speculation though.

Have to say I'm getting only mildly excited about 15/8 or 38/4.5 lenses. So maybe not that good of a selling point.

I agree with all of this. Nikon wants the Z-line to succeed, so they will fill those slots with things that people buy (i.e. bought the F-mount equivalent in large numbers), and they will probably ...

... we see lots of free slots. Maybe Nikon will fill them with something you like. :)

Be aware that you can not only toast your sensor, but also the *shutter* which would be exposed for longer than the sensor when shooting with the mirror up.

If you can spare the money, by all means go for a D750. But if you can't, I don't think there's so much wrong with a D610. I've shot most everything from the milky way to combat jets with mine, ...

Maybe consider the possibility that I own a DSLR now but am considering a move to the Z once the wide-angles are out (if they are good).

I think that in my case, it did improve quite a bit over time. I agree with all the rest, it's a great camera.

Some flare. Not terrible, not excellent. Maybe need to wait for the Z 14-30/4....

Gear lists are mostly for people with much gear to feel superior to people with less gear. Gear (or lack thereof) doesn't equal knowledge (or lack thereof), so it's pretty much useless otherwise.
