Nikon discontinue manufacture of most film equipment

According to this press release from Nikon UK, Nikon are discontinuing production of most film equipment, including their range of large format lenses.

The flagship pro SLR F6 and the manual SLR FM10 stay, as well as the following manual lenses:

Nikkor 20mm f/2.8
Nikkor 24mm f/2.8
Nikkor 28mm f/2.8
Nikkor 35mm f/1.4
Nikkor 50mm f/1.2
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4
Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8
Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8
PC Micro-Nikkor 85mm f/2.8D

Everything else is gone in favor of digital.

I wonder if Zeiss knew about this as they appear to be launching a range of Nikon F-mount lenses (see previous post). I suppose the implications could go either way for Zeiss… there are an awful lot of Nikon bodies out there.
