[QUOTE="Brian, post: 225554, member: 17621"] When checking a DF new in the box, make sure to put a battery into it. The one I checked out had the mirror partially up- and it came into the proper place with the battery inserted. Focusing with the Vivitar 135/2.3 Series I was easy: bright finder and screen like using a Nikon FE2 with a B-2 screen installed. I have an E-2 in my FE2. I end up replacing the split-prism screens in my Nikon film cameras with B or E style screens, an occasional P screen or J screen. The camera is light, was well balanced with the Vivitar 135/2.3 on it. That lens is about the same weight as the Nikkor 135/2. The Vivitar uses floating optics for close-range correction. I'll be using the camera over the next week, will post some results. All that talk of waiting 6-months to a year.... I lied. [/QUOTE]
