(...) these photos and the light you capture remind me so much of my honeymoon some 30 years ago I spent on Las Palmas (...)
Hi Steen. Now I have to ask you, is it your camera for life (well, just the strong feeling for now, we cant foresee what is happining in life), is it a happy keeper, or is it just...sort of lovely right now, but still longing for megapixels... ...?
best Thorkil
I think I'd like to join you for that trip, Gråbrødre Torv and then Nyhavn. I'll bring the F6, just to stay on topicSteen …(and Jack)….
Thank you for your answer and for that it was a long one…
As you know I just bought the Df short after you, couldn’t resist any more, when the price was less than the half. It has been my dream since it came out. And somehow, I never believed all negative speak. Had my own vision. Nikon, I have always had. But they have been boring, even though I liked them, and effective, but they have never charmed my socks of. Now its a bit different. I used to say the communication just must be there, and by instinct, it must be intuitive. The combination of mechanical feeling combined with simple functions and then the undefined essential psychological feeling. The Df is the first Nikon that is not boring to me, it’s the first Nikon that by the first minutes could communicate with me by instinct, and besides, the buttons just feel totally all right to me, and the way to adjust the aperture with the pointing finger is simply…smiling.
And as Jack says, the way it render, the colors, the soft yet strong way it defines the colourpalette, surfaces and borders, is under strong but not the least, calm refined control. So putting a rawfile in C1 is a joy and I´m aware that it unaware sometimes make me smile.
So for now the Df fulfill my dreams…I like it, I really like it
But I have bought the Fuji X-T2 too, so I have to get used to it. I like it, its small. Its handsome, its more handsome at work. But the Df is more liberating for my mind to work with. So I have had to work with the X-T2 to give it a chance.
But dreams..
You know that little store One of many Cameras at Graabrödre Torv, one of the calmest and best squares in Copenhagen, Bjarke has given me a friendprice scanning 120 film on a X1, for not more than a 35 Velvia cost.
And I still have my Hasselblad SWC, primitive, wonderfull and I have had the SWC so much in my hands, not the least in Venice, so……
But your dream about a D810 seems more realistic than mine, while I would like, just once, a tiny little Hasselblad X1D and some lenses too….
So while you also are living in Copenhagen, and while they are closing a lot of local bancs anyway, we could just help them together. But after the bancaffair we will go to Nyhavn where Jack is waiting for us and will provide us with a Glenfiddich 15, but on the the way we will have to do a quick stop while I do another small banc affair (The X1D is more expensive than the 810 you know)…:
So after Jack’s turn, it will be your turn, and then mine…I have to learn that Glenfiddich…:chug:
So, for now we must say cheers in our Df’es :watch:
Sounds like a fun idea... and even if it means buying a Df.... would make for a fun evening!You guys are making me miss Copenhagen! I may just show with my Df and 810 and two (or three) lenses And of course, plenty of room for a nice dinner followed by a few fingers of Scotch!
