There was, I think it was called a Nikonos RS.  I think they added
autofocus to it along with a slew of other features.  It's size was
huge compared to the Nikons V and the nearly $10K price tag when a few
lenses were added in really killed it.  I've only ever seen one once in
a shop, I don't think many people bought them.  They're probably more of
a collector item today.
