[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 215377, member: 9240"] I got a very short email from my brother overnight that made me realize who this camera is for... [INDENT][I]Kinda makes me sad that I switched to Canon... (posts link to the Nikon site for the DF) All those old lenses I had (including the 200 f2.0) would work just fine on this one.
