Let’s talk about what defines the Nikon experience and what you might want to explore.

### The Pillars of Being a Nikon Shooter

1. **Ergonomics & Grip:** Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless bodies are famous for their deep, comfortable grips that feel like an extension of your hand.
2. **Menu Logic:** Nikon’s menu system is famously straightforward and consistent across generations. Once you learn one, you can pick up almost any other Nikon and feel at home.
3. **Optical Excellence (Nikkor Lenses):** This is where the magic is. Nikkor lenses are renowned for their sharpness, color rendering, and build quality. The **F-mount** legacy (1959-2020) is one of the longest in history, with a treasure trove of legendary glass. The new **Z-mount** is a revolution with its huge diameter, allowing for incredibly sharp, fast lenses.
4. **Color Science:** Nikon is known for its pleasing, natural color palette—especially its blues and greens, and realistic skin tones. Their RAW files (.NEF) are also famously flexible in post-processing.
5. **Durability:** From the pro-level D6 and Z9 to the enthusiast models, Nikon cameras are built tough. Many are weather-sealed and feel like tools, not toys.

* **If you’re an F-mount veteran:** You have access to an enormous, affordable, and legendary used lens market.

Your lenses can work perfectly on Z-mount cameras with the **FTZ adapter**.
