Yes. I am going to build and automatic slide digitizer using a Kodak Carousel projector. I would modify the light source to provide cooler and more diffused which is better for copying rather than projecting. I would use an 80mm EL-Nikkor on the PB-6 bellow and sticking the lens right into the opening for the projection lens. I would build a controller to advance the slide then release the shutter and with some delay continue doing that for the whole tray.
Wow! What a project you are going to do! Good Luck and enjoy it!

Okay, I understand that you want to use your own device (electronic device?)

I know that the Df has the cable release socket and they also sell wire remote release as well as wireless release for it. But what I need is a cable release that has 2 wires coming out of it so I can connect it to the trigger device of my own. I know back in the film days Nikon sells such a cable for the motor drive. I don't see the equivalent with the digital cameras.
I use the remote steel cable from my Nikon Ftn film camera, it can be screw into the shutter release button to operate the shutter on my Df.
Like this one from Amazon:

That's what I am doing, I use all my MF F mount prime lenses with a cheaper third party adapter and stop-down aperture on manual mode for metering. It is fine for me!

I sure glad I didn't get the case for my Df. It looks quite bad. It looks like someone wearing pants that coming down too low.
Ha..Ha.. That's fun! anyway, it holds up, it doesn't drop, it works for me!

I got my Zf to pair with my Df. I will use the Zf mainly with all my manual AI/AIs and Pre AI Nikon mount prime lenses. Manual focusing is not a problem for me. I won't use it with heavy tele/zoom lenses. It is not a problem to hold on the camera that with no grip, I added a half body leather cover for more better hold, I use only short prime lenses for street/portrait shooting. I like it that fits my style. Just like the Df, they are not for every body, you love them or hate them!

Thank you ! Using both with my collections of all the F mount lenses!

I use a Logitech M325.
Smaller and nicer to use.

It has been 10 years for the "Nikon "Df-2" but it doesn't happen, instead I got the Nikon Zf. I am very happy getting it. It give me what I have missed in the Df. It is great for street and portrait photography.

[quote=mannix511]I already did that… pressing the display or review button several times but it’s the metering mode that’s always being displayed.
Just go to menu in your Zf, open the :picture Menu, then turn the 'Picture Review' to "ON", do this you
will have instant replay of your picture! Good Luck!

I just bought a new Nikon Zf. To start with its Set-up process, I went to YouTube and followed one of the vlogger’s instructions on how to set-up the camera. After some twicking and adjustments, I tried taking several pictures on Aperture mode. But when I tried to view the pictures, what appears on the View screen are the Metering modes like Matrix, Center Weighted, Spot, etc. and nothing else. No pictures! Did I make a boo-boo on the set-up and adjustments?
At the back side upper left corner there is a triangular arrow that is a replay button for viewing your pictures taken before!

I have received my Nikon Zf yesterday to pair with my 10 years old Df, I down-loaded the reference Guide from internet. That is a complete user's manual. I have no problem to set it up because the Df which I have been using for so long. I love my Df, now the new Zf. The Zf will be only used for prime lenses. This is my first serious mirrorless digi camera, I do have an Olympus Micro 4/3.
