Looking for a DSLR that handles like old manual 35mm.

Nothing like it.


Agree, but way over budget if the Df is $1000 too high.

Still, the modern digital M cameras are a delight. He M Monochrom is my primary camera, with 35mm f/2.5 Summarit and 50mm f/2 Summicron lenses, it makes a very small, super nice and disgustingly expensive kit.

I also just picked up a silver Df. It's not in the same league of old-school feel as the Leica, but it's still the closest you can get in an SLR and oh that magic D4 sensor.

My advice is to scrimp and save a bit more while used Df prices simultaneously drop a bit. From what the OP said, Df is really the best option. I love mine, and my Leica spends a lot more time in the cabinet since buying it. B

Nikon Df - Opinion and User Feedback
I've already shit with a friend's Df and liked it for the most part. Not as ergonomic as the Canon 6D I had, but I like retro and still shoot film (Minolta XE-7), so with this I can pick up an old Nikkormat or FM and shoot both with the same glass.

Nikon Df - Opinion and User Feedback
Got the 35 from B&H in BGN condition (hopefully won't have to return) and the 105 from a guy on Leicaplace. Great deal on the Df, $2300 for the kit, less than 500 clicks. Would prefer the black, but price was too good to pass up. Bought on Fred Miranda forum.

Nikon Df - Opinion and User Feedback
I just ordered a used silver Df with the SE 50 f/1.8, should have it Wednesday. Also ordered a used Nikon 24-120 f/4 VR and a pair of vintage primes, a 35mm f/2 O Nikkor (AI'd, from the mid 1960s) and an AI'd 105mm f/2.5 P Nikkor (original Sonnar formula) from the early 1960s. I imagine those two vintage primes will get the most use, but travel will probably go auto-focus only.

Are Cameras Becoming Too Complicated?
Some of us pay ALOT to not have all of those features. My camera doesn't even shoot color (Leica M Monochrom) and the thing couldn't be simpler to use. Of course i had to sell my Harley-Davidson to pay for it.

Low light is a big pain.
ISO 800 should be sufficient for low light outdoor daytime (like deep Forrest) at f/4 with a fast shutter speed.

If you could have any camera and any lens what would it be and why?


Leica M Monochrom and a Vintage Carl Zeiss 5cm f/1.5 Sonnar converted to LTM and optimized for wide-open.

Oh wait, I already have those.

Caddy and Chevy are the same (General Motors) quality. Leica and Canikon however are entirely different.

LEICA vs Canon/Nikon
Sidphotog wrote:
Hey Friends,

We all are aware of this unending war between the brands and the quality.

As I know, all these brands, be it Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, Canon and so on, have compromised on the image quality when compared to their analog predecessors.

Leica, being in a league of its own, is still better when it is compared to Nikon or Canon (although, I have been a Nikonian all my life) when it comes to issues like sharpness, distortion and all.

But, we also know that Leica is quite a burn in the pocket.

Lately, I have been contemplating to buy the Leica Monochrom, both to OWN a Leica and to have a journey back to the pleasure of Black and White photography.

I would like to know from all you experts as to whether the investment in a Leica in the digital era is worth "the burn" ?

The Monochrom is worth every penny, and it does extremely well with old and new glass.

Guns and God
Not all liberals are anti-gun, and not all gun owners are religious.

I have a CCW and am an extremely accurate shot, but I most definitely NOT conservative or Christian.

If someone enters my house, I will defend myself. If somehow I can't defend myself, I may call for help, but I certainly won't pray.
