Does the watering can have a closed mount? Why is there no autofocus?
did not join the Alliance
Both Nikon Z and Canon RF have it closed. Therefore only for China.
Nikon opened its mount a long time ago.
In my opinion, when it comes to autofocus lenses, Nikon, like Canon, considers each request separately. There are plenty of manual ones, but not so much autofocus ones for FF. There are definitely a few “official” ones from Viltrox, a couple of Tamron ones (collaboration with Nikon) and 3 fresh ones from Sigma.
It's possible that I missed something.

I don’t rule out that I missed something, but many of the autofocus Chinese ones are only on the Chinese market.
