I discount all the manual focus lenses, that isn't where the challenge lies.
Where then? AF? Fitting the electronics in? I doubt either are mount size critical.

Theres a bigger challenge than manually focusing an f0.95 lens?

The engineering challenge of making a fast and accurate AF, as it will be a lot of glass to move with 1.0.
I mean if it is easy, why do they stop at MF and why not put in an AF motor which will open up to most of the market?

And make it twice as big and twice as expensive and cost them a crap load of money in R&D and people whining because they cant hit focus and 'most' of the market will not buy these lenses. A company cant make big sales from a unicorn like that.
You just listed the challenges...good to know we are in agreement
Canon did it already on DSLR design. But looking at the size of the Nikon noct 58/0.95 it seems more of a challenge with such a lens. And as Tanaka-san said it wouldn't make much business sense. Also makes me wonder why Nikon is making a £3+K huge MF lens.
Always do, even when not waiting lolHope you are getting a nice discount for all that waiting
Why are we having a discussion about having to pay to rent the adobe products, when we only use Lightroom, and don’t want to use storage or Photoshop?
The simple answer would be to purchase LR6 outright, as we did in the past. Available from John Lewis for £119.99 or from Adobe for £114 (as a download).
Here is a link from Shotkit about the pros and cons of purchase re subscription: https://shotkit.com/buy-lightroom/
...and here is a link to purchase from Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/download-install/using/download-install-single-app-Lightroom-6.html
HTH.
The problem is, LR6.14 was the final release and is no longer supported, I can't open my Sony A7 III RAW files on it.Why are we having a discussion about having to pay to rent the adobe products, when we only use Lightroom, and don’t want to use storage or Photoshop?

I only really use LR6.14, need to find a way to get my Sony A7 III RAW files converted so I can open them up with LR6.14.
I will take a look when I get some spare time......DNG converter

I’m effectively paying £6.25 a month for my LR CC subscription. I don’t used photoshop as I’m all a lightroom but I do use the website builder and spark. There are other ways to have LR CC without paying the full monthly rate.IIf they offered a subscription for LR only at say £6 I'd be more for it.
So your willing to spend almost 2k on a laptop but not a tenner a month for software? Lol [emoji23] come on lad cough up the tenner. I'm sure you lose more then a tenner of cash falling from your pockets to your sofa or washin machine!I will take a look when I get some spare time......
Got all my LR library on my new MacBook Pro 13" now

There's also the view that Adobe are a bunch of twots to consider. I hate the prospect of giving them another 1p.

What are the other ways? Care to shed some light?I’m effectively paying £6.25 a month for my LR CC subscription. I don’t used photoshop as I’m all a lightroom but I do use the website builder and spark. There are other ways to have LR CC without paying the full monthly rate.

Buy pre paid every year instead of subscription. Places like amazon run them on offer a few times a year.What are the other ways? Care to shed some light?

that must be a short read
Or renew every black Friday or Xmas and it's 6 a month
I contacted Adobe via their online chat contact page when their Black Friday deal was on to have a polite moan that it was unfair that existing users could not get the benefit of their BF deals as I still had 3 months left on my existing subscription. Within 10 minutes they had cancelled my existing subscription, opened a new subscription plan and reduced my payment to £6.93. I was quite impressed with them for doing so and look forward to enjoying the coffee with the money I saved
You didn't need to do that though.
If you had of bought the annual package offered on Amazon and added it to your adobe account the subscription payment stops for a year.
So basically you buy annual package when it's on offer and then top it up when necessary?You didn't need to do that though.

But can you preemptively buy it on offer say if I still have 3 months left from my previous buyYes, you can top up as offers become available.

So don't, nobody is forcing you to use Adobe. People are moaning but they all want to continue using their products.
