My experience so far with AI/AI-s lenses: 28mm f/2.0, 35mm f/2.0, 50mm f/1.4, 55m f/2.8 Micro, 105mm f/4 Micro, 105mm f/2.5, 105mm f/1.8, 180mm f/2.8
I am able to test before I buy (it pays when buying from a single vendor) and there are lenses which are way way overrated (some are even deadly expensive but people buy them.. what can you do??). The above lenses I have kept, not because they are super super sharp etc (the nano-coating isn't just a marketing gimmick, it really does have an impact).. but because I like their rendering of the image. If one looks for super sharp, probably (for me at least) only the 105mm f/1.8 will hold its own against the modern glass. But the old glass has a different feel/rendering which I like
Sounds very similar to those arguments in the audio world between analog and digital recording, CD's and LP's. Some people are dead sworn to their vinyl LPs!

I regretted giving away my LP collection.. I am not doing the same mistake twice
I agree, but every year or so I listen to most of my CD collection; before listening to a CD, I wash it with soap to get rid of fungus etc.. can't do the same with LP's (it was tough maintaining a large collection of LPs). Also now that the kids are growing up and have started "borrowing" CDs, its nice to know that when they drop a CD I don't collect it in pieces!!....

Doesn't look good compared to the D610, lacks a lot of detail at low ISO. Of course high ISO exposes less noise [at the expense of even less detail]. The perfect snapshot sensor, very tempting camera.

"Despite the apparent use of good quality materials, the Df doesn't feel as expensive as it is."

"The only major shooting annoyance we've found so far is that the only way of changing exposure compensation is with the locking dial on the top left shoulder of the camera. There's no option to move it to a command dial, so you have to find and press the central locking nub and simultaneously rotate the dial. It's no more awkward than on a Nikon F3, but anyone who arrived in photography within the last twenty years may find it less fluid than they're used to."
No surprises here, it's meant to be that way. Nice camera.
