> I wish I could have my Nikon lenses on my Sony (with no compromise)

I don't follow that stuff, but does Metabones make a Nikon F -> Sony E speed booster?

> Nikon made some of the great smaller-sensor size lenses that you can get for APS-C or micro 4/3rds.

They did make smaller lenses, but for the Nikon 1 system, which was an underrated system. I became a 4/3rds shooter when Nikon cancelled the Nikon 1 line, but I still use my J5 (which is what the first gen Nikon 1s should have been like). IIRC, adapted Nikon F mount lenses on Nikon 1 focus fairly quickly because of the on-sensor PDAF, but you're limited to center AF only.




Metabones doesn't, but Viltrox does. Autofocus is not always very good, though.
