The mount looks really big. I wonder if Nikon has planned for larger sensors in the future. I would like that.
The actual rear element of the lens doesn't seem THAT big to me so perhaps just making the mount itself large for toughness? Sony have had issues with mount stress haven't they?
That said the rumour is for the Nikon mount to be a bit larger than Sony's FE mount and many have claimed that holding over the E-mount to FF has caused issues with lens performance.
One thing I'v not seen commented on is actually the nature of the video itself. I mean you could argue I spose that having things in shadow is a good way to partly hide the camera so details can be released slowly across several days/weeks but might the shadow itself hint at how the camera will be sold as a low light monster?
Perhaps notable that its a prime lens and from the looks of it not a small one? does look like it could potentially be a 35mm or 50mm F/1.4 as rumoured, maybe something faster?
Not really knowing, and I'm no engineer THAT'S for sure!! But if this new camera has a larger opening like the video shows, would that have to be because of the rumored dual focusing motors in the new mirrorless?

It looks like a Sigma Art lens. Would be fun if it was faster than 1.4, and a smart move from Nikon I think.
