What fun. With a bevy of converted non-AI Nikkors from the 1960's and early 1970's, this camera is just a blast.

I do need to move somewhere with less power lines though.

I've had mine a couple of years now. It's great for my purposes but I don't manual focus at my age!

Amazing work sir!
I am slowly learning how to exploit this wonderful sensor. I find my self wishing they would have put a 1080 HD in the Df. Man o man...

I have used it extensively. Traveled with it east and west. And north and south.
I gripe and moan about its grip and strap lugs. But then forget about it!
Here are a few with the Df..
That it has survived the trips I have subjected it to, has endeared it to me.
And, of course, they say it has a good sensor

I too found the Df a bit tough in the grip department, and then I got a Nikon Df-GR1 and it made all the difference. Now it's a joy to hold.

Only drawback is they're not really available here in the States. I was able to get one, brand new, off the auction site, they come from Japan.

Hi Tim.
Thanks for that tip. Didn't know about it at all.
Take care.

I´m the opposite. The whole reason I liked the Df was because it didn´t have a pronounced grip.

I found a Tarion grip on Amazon for forty usd. It fits well and is grooved for Arca-Swiss.

Wish the Df will get an upgrade but most likely that's not going to happen. One advantage is not having to convert (almost all) older non-AI Nikkors, and the camera recognizing the aperture setting and saving it in the metadata.

No other camera I have owned, including my F2 which is sexy as all get out, has generated more inquisitiveness than my Df. I think it is because it is big and covered in dials and numbers and they don't know quite what to think of it. A whole lot of is that a film camera questions followed by looks of surprise when answered. It's sort of weird.

I recently bought another Df - my fourth. Each time I've sold a Df I've bought another not long after. The reason I keep buying back into the Df is that it just about ticks all the boxes for me as far as a photographic tool is concerned. It's reasonably light, has a very good OVF, manual controls, great sensor, uses relatively inexpensive high quality lenses that are in plentiful supply and feels like an old school SLR in operation. Finally, it is a real pleasure to use. I've always known these things - it was why I bought my first after much research. I am determined to keep this one - rebuying is expensive 
As an aside if you'd like a new one Nikon UK are selling them for £1599.
