For a camera that everyone wants but nobody "needs", it is not bad.This shot was for a magazine. (the food was not bad ) Df & 18mm f3,5 Ais
GrahamDf 20/2.8 Ais
If that is the case.... oh no... my wallet is running away, escaping through the back door :ROTFL:Query - did Nikon tweak this sensor for vintage glass….?
Curious minds wanna know….
No bad choice either. The 35mm f/1.4G is one of my four all time favorite Nikkors ...In a heavy attack of GAS and against the logical choice (Sigma ART or 35/1.8G) I followed my stomach and picked up a 35/1.4G today.

Hi there Jack - what certailnly is the case is that a sensor with thicker cover glass will not play so well with lenses which have a wider angle of incidence (and modern lenses tend to be more telecentric, perhaps for that reason). So the combination of the the larger photosites and a thinner cover glass might help . . . whether on purpose or fortuitiously.I don't think it's possible to tweak a sensor for vintage glass... BUT, the pixel-pitch may be larger enough, it doesn't show the older lens' warts so clearly -- and thus they are very complimentary . Remember, the later AIS lenses were very well built and stunningly good on film!
I hear they are still in supply, the Dfs, as a treatment for some GAS symptoms.Congratulations on the new Camera Tom - I'm really rather jealous!
Indeed, but it'll only treat the symptoms for a day or so . not the underlying disease :banghead:I hear they are still in supply, the Dfs, as a treatment for some GAS symptoms.
