[QUOTE="Brian, post: 246674, member: 17621"] I ended up with a LOT of Manual Focus Nikkor lenses when AF cameras became popular in the 1980s. Hard to walk into a shop and see a 50/1.4 for $25 and walk away without it... I didnt. I had some of the lenses Ai converted when factory parts were available, only "Sliced and Diced" the 20/3.5 Nikkor-UD, picked up for $50. SO- I have a lot of Non-AI Nikon glass. The Df does make it easier to use these lenses, on Ai cameras with the fold-up coupling, you used stop down metering. I prefer the uncoupled meter approach of the Df. As for using a hand-held meter, first time I took the Leica M8 out I had the Weston 615 Master used with my Nikon SP in the field case. Had it out, was metering the scene, then noticed the Meter LED's at the bottom of the viewfinder. About the same place as they are in the F2S. Meters in Digital Cameras. What will they think of next.
