I came across this on another forum:
Nikon to discontinue film based cameras
Quote:
High performance digital SLR cameras are performing well as users shift from film-based SLR cameras or upgrade from compact digital cameras to digital SLR cameras.
As a result of the new strategy Nikon will discontinue production of all lenses for large format cameras and enlarging lenses with sales of these products ceasing as soon as they run out of stock. This also applies to most of our film camera bodies, interchangeable manual focus lenses and related accessories.
In recognition of Nikon’s commitment to professional photographers we will continue to manufacturer and sell the F6, our flagship film model, as well as a number of manual interchangeable lenses.

So the F6 stays, but apparently, nothing else film based.
Reading between the lines, I would also take the statement that they are going to discontinue production of all lenses for "large format cameras" to mean Nikon has no intentions of going full frame digital.
