As was pointed out previously and quite correctly, the speed of certain
Nikon lenses is limited by the diameter of the old F mount which is
considerably smaller than Canons EF mount. That is why you see fast
lenses such as the 200/1.8 and 50/1.0 from Canon and not from Nikon.
Again this was the unfortunate cost of keeping the older F mount and
preserving backward compatibility which by the way, is really falling by
the wayside also. The term should be modified to something like "limited
backward compatibility". As matrix metering and other functions have
been sacrificed.
