Hi Rayyan, and yes Sir, at once, I will see what I can do...
Nikon Df with Nikkor 24/1.8 at iso 250 1/125 f8 through C1pro11win
One of my sweetest and calmest spots in Dyrehaven
It just sits there and wait for a painter from the golden age to reenter the scene and pull out the oilcolours
From 2 days ago. Rayyan, its manipulated so: modest sharpnes, pulled down brightness all the way down, because of the super bright frozen-light, lifted the expose ½ a step, very moderate punch in clarity, used the profile from the nikkor 24/1.4, while the /1.8 wasn't by hand, saturation and contrast left alone, whitebalance by camera, no filter used.
I know you will argu its soft at the left, it might be, but it was blowing a bit, and it make the branches move, it might have been moving my lazy and unpatient body too...
But I like the lens, it suits the Df rendering way fine, soft, still sharp, gentle, some times exquisite..its a bit too long, but its light and lighter than the Sigma, and it has character..

ps. forgot: highlight pulled all the way down, shadows lifted a bit

Hi Rayyan, just a little PS. I found that my example of the nikkor 24/1.8 do have some issues, specially at the left side. So it would not suit your landscapes I guess. I'm surprised and disappointed by the lack of quality-control by Nikon in China.
I now regret I didn't took time for testing Jacks advice, the Sigma 24 art (so when you don’t listen, you…), or at least one more example of the 24/1.8, but with the Sigma 24 Art you also have to test more than one piece according to Nasim Mansurov, and its more heavy and then a less easygoing travel/walk-around-lens.
I'm not good at complaining in a store, but I will try to get their help for this one.
Or perhaps I should ask Steen if he is using his Zeiss 21 ZF.2 (are you listening Steen ?
) even though it might be the wrong time of a lifeline to go manual now, but...So the 24-120 at 24 (or staying by your 24/2.8D which seems ok?) might serve you much better, Rayyan, but size-weight...

Thanks Thorkil.
I will tell you frankly, that due to my incompetence, illiteracy or star sign, the Fuji x-pro-2 fits me more than fine but..a big but for me now..I still am unsure ( paranoid? ) about its treatment of dense foliage in the foreground and background. Somewhat hesitant to jump fully with Fuji.
As far a Nikon...I appreciate your input. Gawd, the 24-120 G VR is heavy!!
As you mentioned, I might just have to be content with my 24/2.8 D.
24/2.8D, 50/1.8 G, 85/1.8G; Df.
I think at least I wouldn't get worms in my images
The care.

Rayyan, I really do like the Fuji too, but I love the Df, and frankly I have my serious doubt that I sensorwise and treatment-like could get the same delicate look from a D610, 810 or 850, while it to me seems that they don't have that magic soft glow I still do think I find in the Df.Thanks Thorkil.

Fuji makes it all very very good, but perhaps all together a bit more harsh, less exquisite, less delicate, less "soft". The lenses are really good at Fuji, and when I take it to work, in- and outsite buildings, it's a joy with the small size and balanced weight.
But my warm feelings are with the Df, can't help it, and I have accepted that situation, and keeping them both, and with joy...
After Italy the 24/1.8 goes back to Nikon for repair, I have arranged, and if they don't succeed I will finally follow Jacks advice and have a serious look at the 24/1.4 Sigma Art, same size, about 300 gram more.
