They make and support what sells. There is not a market for Nikon Manual focus that would equal the size (in dollars) as that which Nikon has with AF cameras (and this includes P&S cameras). So why bother. On the other hand there is Leica, whioch makes money selling and supporting lenses and systems which really have not changed in design for decades. Its like comparing Apples to a Fruit Stand (no flames, I don't mean PCs here.) <snip> Nikon doesn't even want to support manual focus lenses ___THAT ARE STILL FOR SALE NEW!!!!<snip>
