Some interesting rumors from CES – Nikon’s upcoming mirrorless camera is rumored to have a new Z-mount:
- Designed for full frame mirrorless cameras
- External diameter: 49mm
- Flange focal distance: 16mm
Keep in mind that “Z-mount” may not be the final marketing name, but I believe the dimensions are right.
For comparison, here are the dimensions of the Nikon F and Sony E mounts:
Nikon F-mount
- External diameter: 44 mm
- Flange focal distance: 46.5 mm (more info on flange focal distance can be found here)
Sony E-mount:
- External diameter: 46.1 mm
- Flange focal distance: 18 mm
