Finally, a wider mount has physics on its side, making it easier for Nikon to build sharper, more compact lenses - or just crazy fast ones like the Z-Noct f/0.95.Īnyway, while the mount does look comically huge on the tiny body, the Z50 is a very compact APS-C camera. On top of that, you can use Nikon's DX and FX DSLR lenses on either system with the same adapter. Considering that it only has two native zoom lenses for the Z50 so far (the DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 and DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3) it also means that buyers can use full-frame Z mount lenses if they really need a prime. Having the same mount for both systems likely made development easier, and the company has a lot of ground to make up. Another point is that unsophisticated buyers could easily purchase the wrong lenses for each system. So, why has this caused some controversy?Ĭritics have argued that since many folks buy APS-C mirrorless cameras for their compact size, the large Z mount could reduce its potential in that area. Meanwhile, Nikon stuck with the same mount used on the full-frame Z6 and Z7 cameras. Canon has two separate, incompatible mirrorless mounts: The M mount APS-C system and RF mount for its full-frame EOS R and EOS RP cameras.
