Good Luck
Howard, what you say is true when looking at the total lens offerings available from a growing plethora of vendors covering a wide range of cost and a variety of lens mounts.
But, I wouldn’t describe the marketplace for 16mm FFD 55mm throat true cine lenses with Nikon glass as overstuffed. Especially if they brought out cine zooms with constant aperture covering very useful focal lengths. Admittedly they haven’t talked about such zooms, but if they do want to make a good impression and penetrate the traditional cine market, including such zooms might be a bold option. Something like the ARRI Signature 24-75mm T2.8 LPL but a more affordable 20-100mm T3 Z mount if possible.
I’m not their target audience for such lenses when I (sadly) can’t even manage to acquire the Fujinon 20-120mm T2.9 Super 35 zoom which would pair with my Tokina 11-20mm T2.9.
