Welcom to the forum. What lens/lenses do you have for the Df?

Hi hippiralph, Welcome to the forum.
When I get back to Europe on 1st March I will be better placed to help you out. I am currently in Hong Kong so I only have my ipad and limited access.

Had a go with the Df yesterday when I was out shopping in Hong Kong.
Nice enough camera but it is still too large. It needs to be the same size as a Nikon FM/FE but a little thicker to allow for TFT screen on back and maybe a small shutter side hand hold where the battery can go.

I am sure it takes great pictures but at twice the price of my D600 it should do! That said it is cheaper than a D3s or D4 so it is horses for courses.
I would probably be interested if I didnt have the D3, D3S, D800 and D600 already.

There is a max file size possible for upload into the gallery. This is 8mb and 1600 x1024 pixels.

I suggest that image is in sRGB colourspace and if you resize to longest side 1024 pixels and file size 250kb-1mb then this makes for good display.

Rich, go try the Fuji XT1 when you can. I just got one yesterday as I am in Hong Kong for a family wedding. It is awesome. If the low light AF is up to scratch which I want for my flamenco dance photos then my D3 and/or D3S go to ebay!
