![]() | Nikon Df Pros: The sensor, the manual setting rings, nighttime performance. Cons: Lack of double SD slot, comfortable grip, however, not justified by aesthetics. Opinion: Meanwhile, I tell you that I bought the Df (black) based on recommendations here on Juza and all previous reviews to mine and for this I thank you. The Nikon Df is a machine to itself, do not come out new versions every year. The Df is a timeless classic. Italo Calvino said: "A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say." Here, I think this is Df, a good car right now and valid even 10 years. Do not buy it for its technical characteristics, it is not meant to impress you in that sense. If you're a fan of numbers and trendy processors you are in the wrong place. Buy at if you are convinced you want something different from what the market offers nowadays. It is not an inexpensive car and buy new today does not make sense to me. Look for a good used with "a few" shots. You do not find many around but if you are lucky you will struggle to find even a Df in excellent condition. I think a fair price for this machine is around 1800-1500 euro with less than 100k shots. I I found one with9K in perfect condition with Nikon warranty until the end of 2017. I brought the machine with me on my last trip to Lapland, what about ... turned out to be a great traveling companion. It rectum perfectly rigid temperatures (-20 degrees) Finns. I used two lenses: a Samyang 14mm f / 2.8 and a Tamron SP 24-70mm f / 2.8. With the Tamron that light is not the weight he is beginning to feel guilty even of the low grip of Df. It is not comfortable to grip but what matters most is the habit. Maybe you could think of a Gariz housing that improves the grip as well as protecting of the camera body. We come to the manual controls and its rings: comfortable and beautiful! They are beautiful to see and comfortable to use, return a very special feeling and you get used to the reasoned photography. With this machine you will make fewer shots and it cestinerete far fewer. The ISO sensitivity dial is slightly more uncomfortable than the other because of a security key to be pressed each time to unlock the rotation of the ring.I have learned now to handle this thing with my thumb and forefinger of his left hand. The ring on the shutter speed is much more convenient even if you realize with time that is more convenient to keep it set to 1/3 and change the shutter speed (full scale) from the secondary wheel placed in front of you, it made of less noble materials and possibly subject to wear over time. The Df has many more keys, front, rear and side, all customizable. I think the night photography is one of its strong points. In Lapland I pulled out pictures of very high standard and with a really noticeable noise even at ISO rather high. The raw files are very heavy, and at times seems not to have need of postproduction. I think the Df from the best of the old with fixed lenses, where fun is guaranteed. I either like it or hate it and I love her. I do not ever sell it. I believe that now is (aesthetically speaking) the number one. Love her! sent on April 12, 2017 |
