NASA astronaut Don Pettit photography from the ISS (mainly with the Nikon Z9 camera)
NASA astronaut Don Pettit did a live stream with NASA Space Flight from space and discussed his photography from the ISS (mainly with the Nikon Z9 camera):
“Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 72 Flight Engineer Don Pettit of NASA discussed photography, life, and work aboard the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview Dec. 9 with NASASpaceFlight.com. Pettit, an avid space photographer, is in the midst of a long-duration mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration flights as part of NASA’s Moon and Mars exploration approach, including lunar missions through NASA’s Artemis program.”

Rumors from China: Nikon to launch a new AF/AF-D to Z-mount lens adapter in 2025
The latest rumors from China are about a new Nikon AF/AF-D to Z-mount lens adapter expected to launch in 2025:
“Nikon may launch an AF/AF-D to Z-mount adapter next year] The new adapter will have a built-in focus motor to adapt to AF/AF-D lenses. It is currently speculated that the new adapter may be named FTZ III or FTG SC.”
I remember receiving a similar rumor back in 2022 – so take it with a grain of salt:
