I have one set up for macro, and the other for non-CPU lenses, I think. I never use them.

None taken. I'm guilty of not reading the quote within your reply. You are correct about the D810, D5, & D500.

Those Nikon cameras you love ALL have Sony sensors... (show quote)
Every single one? Nope. The sensors in the D2h, D3, D4, Df, and the D5 are made by Nikon. As well as the D3100, D3200, and D3300.

Now if Nikon were to buy Sony's camera division...

...Nikon is a good acquisition target for Sony if Sony is indeed serious about the high end camera market, not for the cameras, but for the lenses and other system stuff.
I agree, but I don't see Nikon selling out to Sony, or anyone else for that matter. They will dump their lithography and other poorly performing ventures first.

Erik, I am a Nikon guy. Love my D800 and my assortment of quality Nikon Nikkor lenses. No need for me to get a GAS attack and think Sony A9.
I'm a Nikon guy as well, I have eight of them sitting on my desk right now. But you gotta wonder why the big two aren't even trying to get into the mirrorless market (in a meaningful way), especially when something like this comes out that could really give a pro-level Nikon or Canon a run for it's money. As far as me though, I had a GAS attack a couple of weeks ago and bought an F3 and a couple more rolls of Tri-X

With Sony's announcement of the a9 and it's very impressive spec sheet I can't help but wonder if Nikon and Canon are ever going to respond with a serious mirrorless camera. The a9 looks to be aimed at pro, full frame shooters and I think it could really take a bite out of the DSLR market. While I have no plans to go mirrorless -hell, I still shoot film- I'd like to hear other's thoughts on the issue.

LOL, yep, the aperure ring took me about 5 minutes to figure out, thought it was 1976 again!!
I shoot quite a bit of film still, and most of my lenses are "D" type, so switching between say, my Nikon F or F3 to the Df is pretty much seamless.

I can change important settings like ISO and shutter speed a lot faster on the Df than on a "modern" DSLR. The aperture I adjust with the *gasp* aperture ring!

The Df is compatible to more lenses than any Nikon DSLR.
That pretty much sums it up. I frequently use my 1960's era glass on my Df.

Right--It just won't meter? My first Nikon was an F3-HP. Loved that camera.
I just bought the F3-HP. In fact, I have it with me at work now. So far, I love it.

Excellent shot! And to think that in it's heyday, all of London was probably about that tall.

That's a great image. Maybe it doesn't take composition into account.

I found this site through another forum and find it fascinating and addictive. I guess it's not quite infallible as it rated one of Ansel Adam's photos at 11%. Of course it rated one of mine at 1.1%.

I can see where it would be addictive. It could be used as a good keyword generator (I suck at keywording). My question though, is what they do with the images that you drag to the screen. They now have a copy of them, and could probably turn around and sell them without you knowing about it. Very nice shot by the way.
