Love the Df's sensor and low light capacity.

And the older lenses who excel on the Df.

Here with the perfect 85K   wide open  at 32K iso.

Thanks Elsa and Jacques.

After a foggy and sad morning the sun sneaks suddenly through the clouds covering the landscape with a yellow glow...  The maize is still on the land and needs to be harvested.

Same lens but at F/4

Nice! I like the bicycle one... I wish the bike was just a bit further from the edge of the frame....

This 'autumn' look is with the Nikkor K 28/2

Great colors and bokeh of course. Are the 28/2 K and AI(S) similarly designed? I seem to recognize the somewhat nervous bokeh of the latter here.

I believe the design of the 28/2 is similar but "With the AI-S version Nikon optical engineers managed to improved its closest focusing distance down to 0.25m (0.9ft)" which is a change of the lens, somehow.

I can't compare with the AI-S  but I like the bokeh of the 28/2  (And different compared to the 28/1.8 G).

Oops, the photo of the gate is with the 85K  (Which explains the difference in bokeh then) I made a mistake by switching the two lenses as I used them in one shoot.

Another evidence in favour of having all lenses CPU-modified :D No mistakes in identifying what lens was used ....

Yes, you are right. The quality of the Df in combination with the older and beautiful Nikkor's makes it essential.

It has been an hectic year with a change of camera-body and purchase/sale of different lenses so I am getting slowly to a list of favorite lenses qualifying for conversion.

CPU-conversion can be easily done in combination with an Ai-conversion?

If you attend the NG Scotland gathering next spring, we could set up a CPU modification shop right there.

Nearly all Nikkors can be modified, but the modification of some of them is not for the faint of heart. Which lenses did you have in mind?

I'll put up an announcement on the Classified board later. Meant to do that for a while now, but time has been hectic after the opening of this community.

I am sure many attendants would be interested, including me ! ;D

I am going to wait the announcement knowing it's too early at the moment.
