Re: Nikon Df

"Old school" shooters doesn't necessarily mean OLD shooters. I think the target market is much less than half the average age of this list. It's a camera for young, hip photographers who DO believe roaming the Scottish countryside looking for dramatic light is romantic and not as Godfrey says "co

Re: PESO Yellow Rain

A lovely fall scene, Paul. This is one, though, where the nearly infinite DoF of the tiny sensor camera works against the image. I'd have preferred more soft oof contrast in the background to allow the foreground falling leaves to stand out. Nonetheless, quite pleasant! On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 2:4

Re: OT: Nikon Df

It's the next thing to $3000 with the kit lens. I think I could find a way to pay that much for an honest-to-god Digital LX with a FA50/1.4. The only flaw I really see in it is it doesn't take K-mount lenses. On 11/5/2013 8:51 AM, Darren Addy wrote: I'm sure you saw the accidentally leaked pric

I very much appreciate your non test, Bill. I agree that that completely dispels any worries about possible ISO inadequacies. On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 10:39 PM, Bill wrote: > With that in mind, I invite you to click the link below, for your viewing > pleasure: > > WARNING: 12MP PAGE > > http:/

Re: OT - Nikon Df

The quote that is best from this review of the DF: "We're not entirely convinced this will offer a fast and fluid shooting experience with the camera to your eye" And this is where Pentax has room to surpass Nikon in the retro-design. Imagine a camera that captures the looks of the original MX or

Re: Nikon Df

I think what it is claiming to be is a camera for "old school" shooters who don't need the camera to do everything but cook them breakfast in the morning. So, in that sense I think it is purposely "complicated". It sure doesn't match the K-3 in hardly any category other than being a full frame sen

Re: Nikon Df

might be nice to use, but it sure isn't "pretty" … looks like a modern retro Camaro: it has some of the line, but it's all bloated and festooned with gee-gaws. To my eye, the chrome is particularly ugly looking. or rather, "industrial faux". but if it works right and is good in the hands, it co
