If all the existing AF-F mount lenses can be used via adapter, this can truly signal the end of SLRs. Sony was the first to the market, with a full 35mm sensor, but having to invest in a new set of lenses prevented many from making the jump. If Nikon can pave a path for smoother transition, with full compatibility with legacy accessories, as it has historically done, I can see many people embracing the new standard. Nikon's previous mirrorless standard was indeed a failure, trying to avoid cannibalising the existing SLR market. But they have now seen that the SLR era is over.
