Hi Chris,
I am new here so I don't know who attacked you but here my answer. My Nikon F3HP didn't come with a neck strap and although I know some Nikon F5 came with neck strap my didn't although I bought both of them new. So I use the Nikon AN-4Y strap which is narrow only 1" wide and made out of yellow nylon. So what do you use Chris may I ask?

No. That would be a disservice to a lot of good people.
But, to censor a person because one doesn't agree, like, or value his opinion; or that the person is obnoxious, is never good.
Who can judge? The Administrator should take control.


I don't think we should ban or silence Chris T. The UHH should just not allow him to silence others in his threads so that new comers to the UHH would see arguments on both sides.

The D750 with the 24-120 kit lens is a good starting point. Sharp lens and a good FF body that handles high ISO well.


Thanks! I don't need a lens right now as I have enough lenses to begin with. I will get the Df before this weekend though. Tempted with the D750 sales during the holidays but I like the controls on the Df much more.

Oh, I see ... did you also then make the prints, from the Internegs, or no?


Yes but sometimes others did that. I just spent all days shoot the slides.

Doing what, D?

I mean - what did you use the 50 Macro for, exactly?


I shot slides to make internegatives for a living. Didn't earn much so I get other job instead.

Back in the 80's I used to use the 50mm macro lens everyday. It was my job.

Since you are considering low light photography, you take a look at the Sony a7s11. It is la low light champ. There are reasonably priced adapters to use all of your Nikon lenses. Go to the Sony site and check out some low light examples.


Thank you very much but as I stated in the tittle I would like an SLR type camera. Secondly with adapter I don't think I can have AF or even with MF lenses I can't have auto aperture stop down function. I just checked the Sony and its controls are not what I would want for my camera.

Thank you everyone! I have decided to buy the Df at my local dealer. Thank you Burkphoto but I rather get a new one. I also consider the D850 for later because I haven't been able to see it yet. My dealer doesn't have one. I hope the price on the D850 may get a bit lower later.

Buy either the 850 or the Df--based upon serious research and what you want in a camera.
I own and love the Df; I also use an 800E, and will probably buy an 850 in time.
The 850 and the Df are different cameras with different strengths, bells, whistles, megapixels, cropping ability, low light etc.
Crap, buy one of each and be satisfied.


Thank you very much. I think it's a good idea as I would have both a camera with the most and the least number of pixels in the Nikon line up. I think I would start with the Df first and then wait to get the D850 later. Price of the D850 may drop later.

I believe you have the wrong impression of Fujifilm cameras. They can shoot at 1600, 3200, 6400 ISO and up with surprisingly minimal noise issues and excellent color rendition. On the Nikon side, the Df would be a very good choice.


I never used a digital cameras before, I meant the Fuji 1600 35mm color negative film. I believe they don't make it any more I tried it in the mid 80's.

The Df is a fine retro looking camera with the insides of the D4. But, if you can afford Nikon's best and newest technology, go with the D850.


The D850 is on my list so yes I certainly can afford it. I could afford the D5 as I tend to simply buy the Nikon top of the line like the F3, F4 and F5 previously, however I am much older now and I treat my cameras much more tenderly than before and I don't need the very high speed of the D5.

I am a film only photographer since early 80's. My first camera was the Nikon F3HP and since I added the FM, FM2, FE, F4s and F5. I have a number of Nikkor lenses for those cameras including AI, AF-D, AF-S lenses. When we moved into our current house (which is newer but much smaller) I no longer have my darkroom. I think it's time for me to take up on the digital. Since I have always used Nikon I have narrowed down my choice to the D850, D810 (I think they still sell them new), D750 and the Df. The D5 is significantly more expensive and I don't need the high frame rate or a rugged body so I don't put in in consideration. I tend to lean toward the Df because I found that I like the F3HP controls more much more than that of the F5 which is similar to most other cameras. Also I always avoided shooting in low light when a tripod is not available due to the fact film speed is very slow. I have tried Fuji 1600 before but the results were terrible. I hope with the Df I can use ISO 1600 and beyond and still have decent images.
Which camera would you recommend?
