I only recently got my first Nikon so I can only post one portrait taken with the Nikon Df... the rest is with other cameras (I think you can see when you hover on the pictures)
First photo is with the Nikon Df, the rest with other cameras.
Soft style portraits
Wide angle portraits:
16:9 for cinematic feel
(Is it actually allowed to post non Nikon stuff here? I'm sure once I have the Nikon Df longer I'll be able to post more Nikon content..., although I bought the Nikon for my free time and not work shots.)
Let me know what you guys think,
Jip

How do you like the GFX? I shoot the Leica S medium format cameras... haven't tried the Fuji yet... curious about it! I would miss the central shutters though for 1/1000 sync speed for fill in flash!
But HSS is not the same as a High Sync Speed of 1/1000th. I can shoot flash at 1/1000 even with a reportage flash set on top of my camera. I'd really miss that.
Yes I can shoot at all shutter speeds with my cameras with a HSS compatible flash, it'll do a reduced power set of strobes to cover the whole exposure. The thing is this reduces the power of your flash significantly which is exactly what you DON'T want during fill in flash with bright sunlight.
With my Leica S there is a leaf shutter in the lenses beside the normal focal plane shutter which has a maximum speed of 1/1000, and syncs with any flash up to 1/1000... at full power without 'strobing'. I know I'd never be able to get this on my Nikon, but I feel it's sad Fuji doesn't release their lenses as a more expensive version with leaf shutter for High Sync Speeds, this makes the system not an feasible alternative to Hasselblad or Leica S.

Wrong how exactly?
I don't want to shoot at 1/320th of a second but at 1/1000 (or faster if possible) because of strong back light... the problem is HSS flashes cannot fire the HSS strobes at the same power as it would be able to do when you shoot 1 hard flash. These are facts. If there is a reportage flash that has the same output power while doing HSS as when it's doing it at a camera's native sync speed I'd happily pay 10 grand for it!
Reportage flashguns can NEVER fire HSS at the equivalent power of a normal flash at sync speed.
As soon as you go faster than your camera's native sync speed, be it 1/180 or 1/250 or 1/320... the flash gun will no longer fire ONE flash but multiple flashes to exposure your sensor/film evenly while the shutter slides past your sensor/film with a slit opened.
As soon as you do that, you no longer have full power.
I can shoot HSS with full power on my Fuji GFX. All my flashes have HSS capabilities up to 1/8000th at least. So do my triggers. If I'm outside at f/2.8 ISO 100 and my speed is reading over the available sync speed my flash automatically defaults to HSS. I shoot my flashes on Manual not TTL. I set the power and shot away without issue.
