Nikon will discontinue seven film-camera models, leaving in production only the current top-line model, the F6, and a low-end manual-focus model, the FM10. It will also stop making most of its manual-focus lenses.

Yeah. I guess. Very sad though.

Yes, but Cosina/Zeiss is now making manual focus Nikon F lenses. However, they are expensive. Cosina seems have have clawed their way up to become a major player.
