[QUOTE="Brian, post: 227751, member: 17621"] The question of being able to use manual focus lenses on this camera, took a walk on this cloudy day with the Df and the Nikkor 55/1.2 Ai. The viewfinder is bright and snappy, did not have trouble focusing with any part of the screen. Focus confirmation is useful if you have time, but mostly served as a "second opinion". I could focus the camera and then note that the green dot was lit. All shots at F1.2, ISO 100, in-camera Jpeg. I need to try the "D4" hack for the NEF files, or try to find the "D4" label in Lightroom. When I shot mostly film, the F2AS, Nikon SP, and Leica M3 were my favorites. With digital, the Nikon Df is a good complement to the Digital Leica rangefinders. I have an amedeo adapter to use my S-Mount lenses on the Leica, and have most of the Nikkor lenses in Leica mount. If Nikon ever comes out with a Digital S-Mount camera, that would be perfect. [/QUOTE]
