[QUOTE="lorenbrothers, post: 606634, member: 41042"] Thanks. I do indeed like the idea of "retro" if retro means being able to use a camera like I did 45 years ago. :encouragement: Started out in 1972 with a Minolta SR-T101 with the 55, 100, and 200mm Rokkors. Later moved on to the Canon AE-1 which I never really liked very much. Must have been too fancy I guess LOL. (just got rid of it a few years ago) The key thing I like about the Df concept is the ability to use the 'vintage' glass and go full manual. :) I really don't think it is worth the $2,800 Nikon is still asking for it though. Not even close! I might pop for a used one if I see one for less than $1,200, which is more realistic since they are about $1K over-priced to start with. [/QUOTE]
