The upcoming Nikon full-frame mirrorless camera is rumored to feature a new mounting system called the “Z-mount“, which will have a 16mm flange focal distance.
According to recent reports, the external diameter of the new system would be 49mm, which is the actual mount opening. The entire external diameter of the mount is going to be 65.4mm.
The graph below is by Eric Calabros that shows a comparison between Nikon Z-mount and Sony E-mount. The Z-mount has more than 6 degrees of advantage over E-mount which is also important for wide angle and fast lenses.
