[QUOTE="Brian, post: 253299, member: 17621"] Here's a shot showing the grip ring with the DOF scale engraved in it. The guy probably had never seen a depth of field scale before, and confused it with an aperture ring. [IMG]http://www.leicaplace.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1511&d=1386202669[/IMG] F-Mount lenses color-coded the DOF scale, but Nikon Rangefinder mount lenses used actual numbers. Since the 50/1.8 with the Df kit does not have an aperture ring, Nikon could not use the color-code and went back to using numbers on the DOF scale like they did for rangefinder lenses. [IMG]http://www.leicaplace.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1583&d=1387070247[/IMG] For anyone interested, [URL]http://www.the.me/nikon-df-hands-on-the-closest-slr-to-a-leica-minus-rangefinder/[/URL] written after having the camera for a week. I don't get why so many people ridicule this camera. I've been using Nikons for a very, very long time. This is the first Nikon DSLR that I've picked up and enjoyed using. Simply at home with the control layout. [/QUOTE]
