that sounds interesting Chuck. Do you plan to use the MM side by side with Canon? Or Sony? Only b&w in the future?

I cannot imagine purchasing an MM. The m240 should be very close in B&W resolving capability and high iso performance while being far cheaper and having "built in" color filters.

Now if the MM used a B&W version of the m240, that would be nuts.

And when someone had suggested the 5D4, he said he couldn't afford it. He implied his budget for a purchase was 2200.

Sorry to renew an old thread here. I just requested a Df from NPS for evaluation. I tried this six months ago or so. Nikon told me NPS doesn't keep Df's on hand because they're not professionals bodies. But somebody here said that has changed. I really hope so!

I'll let y'all know what they say when I hear back from them.

Edit: Df is officially on its way for two week evaluation. Thanks so much to everyone who pointed out the Df IS supported by NPS!!

So I've been looking into the df as well.. the two things holding me back, like others here, has been the 2 card slot thing and no comparible lens to the canon 135L. But I was doing some searching and I came across this lens. .http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/113487-USA/Nikon_1935_Telephoto_AF_DC_Nikkor.html

Does the lens just suck or would it be a good option with the Df??

since this thread was started Nikon haas announced the D750 and I think that would be a much better option for a wedding photographer than the Df.

Here is a pretty good review of someone with some serious photo skills that switched at the start of this season from D4 to Df bodies. It's a little hard to follow unless you click the slide show bottom at the bottom and then manual advance through the different slides: http://www.mindmeister.com/453879072/nikon-df-review

It's an awesome lens very sharp but an older 'D' type Nikkor lens. The entire 'D' series lens line are pretty much dogs for AF in low light.

Leica?? ... hell yeah!

I've been using my M9 and M2 for a few months on my news assignments and portraits. I just love it. Becomes easier everyday.

That said... I've been dying to use this quote somewhere.

I'll try to remember it when I go shopping for a 240 next summer and pursue weddings more seriously...

“The fact is that relatively few photographers ever master their medium. Instead they allow the medium to master them and go on an endless squirrel cage chase from new lens to new paper to new developer to new gadget, never staying with one piece of equipment long enough to learn its full capacities, becoming lost in a maze of technical information that is of little or no use since they don’t know what to do with it.” – Edward Weston ...1927

You keep quoting that. It's true after all.



But the only way, if you can afford one, not to buy a 240 is to not pick up a 240. I thought I had resisted. Happy with the M9 I was. Now I have 2 240's. It's like crack in a camera shape.

I must be crazy, but my buddy has a M9 and M240, and I hate how they feel in my hand. I swear it feels heavier than my D3S in a tiny package, and there was honestly just not one thing I liked about it. I really wanted to like them, but nope.

I do rather enjoy my Zeiss Ikon film camera... but the Leica stuff even the film cameras I just don't like that much for some reason.
