Don't know. The D700 and the F6 use the aperture ring, at least with AIS lenses, no problem.Just a question, I read a good hand full of the previews, and can't sort this out.
I mount and AF-D lens, with an aperture ring, lock it to the highest FNumber, then change the aperture with a spinning knob that is mounted the wrong way round on the front of the camera??
Can that possibly be right ...... PURE PHOTOGRAPHY still disables the aperture ring??
Lets see, my Fuji X-Pro, change aperture on the lens, shutter speed/Comp on the body, and ISO in the quick menu .... to me a bit more pure.

Yes, any CPU lens would operate that way.Just a question, I read a good hand full of the previews, and can't sort this out.

The 6D can do that, as long as one doesn't mind all the fiddling and tweaking required to get accurate focus.Actually, the Canon 6D is in many ways more suitable for what I would use the Df for, without the switches and dials obviously. Except for the larger grip, it's exactly the same size and weight, it has exchangeable focusing screens and can mount any Nikkor lens... and Zeiss CY, Olympus OM, Pentax K etc. lenses. It's $1,000 cheaper too.
That is correct. I used the 6D example because that too is an SLR. Some of us prefer that sometimes.The 6D can do that, as long as one doesn't mind all the fiddling and tweaking required to get accurate focus.
For adapting purposes, nothing can touch the A7, tho.
Sorry, looks more like a hooker than sexy. What were they thinking? I think Nikon missed the mark on a good idea of making a simple and small retro DSLR. Olympus and Leica keep getting it right...Now, this is sexy:
Hm, the more I think about it the more I feel the same ....I am quite thankful for the DF- for saving my cash!
Which is considerably cheaper than the DF.The 6D can do that, as long as one doesn't mind all the fiddling and tweaking required to get accurate focus.

Well, I'm not going to judge the good or bad (I would have preferred a split-prism, but oh well). My question is this: what changed in the way they handled their internal focussing screens between the D700 (where you CAN get a Katzeye) and now (when you can't)?Yes, the focusing screen is a big disappointment for manual focus with legacy glass. Bad Nikon!
Hi RayIf the Df price is the bother, then either the cam is not for you or wait till the price falls within your range.
Jono, maybe you folks make 60% more in the Uk than my friends in the US.Hi Ray
It bothers me that it's 60% more expensive in the UK than it is in the US - that's a lot extra!
Not to my eyes......but this one certainly fits the bill.Now, this is sexy:
