I have the DX 18-140mm VR lens (that was the high-end kit lens option). It's surprisingly good, and it's clearly going to be smaller and lighter than could be achieved with a full-frame equivalent. You could argue that noone will miss this lens, because they should have got it with their camera.

Long lenses, I can use any FX lens, without any problems. The only thing that I would really miss if DX lenses disappear is a super-wide lens, because no FX lens is going to be super-wide on my DX camera body.

I was oversimplifying a bit.

I should say “most will not miss these DX lenses as Nikon moves to Z-mount APS-C cameras, which have the potential for both better optical quality and smaller size.”

To whit: https://www.zsystemuser.com/z-mount-lenses/nikkor-lenses/nik... — it’s the cheap pack-in kit lens, but the optics are off the charts relative to its size and price.
