Nuno, Thanks for your insights, I can now better understand the factors that lead people to the A7 series. I did have a friend come up to my house to use a variety of my lenses in his A7.
My preference for Nikon cameras is also based on factors, not so much professional, as personal. I still have good enough eyesight to focus through the viewfinder with a little help from the focus indicator, I like seeing through the lens optically, like heavy bodies I can grab onto and that have long battery life. My D810 exceeds my own ability, my cameras last forever (no so important nowadays).
No doubt Curtis is right, cameras come and go as technology evolves. The experience of fixed focal length manual focus photography is a constant, and old Nikkor MF lenses are an excellent and relatively inexpensive way to enjoy.
To each their own, but let's enjoy and let's share.
Me thinks a D5/D810/D750 looks and handles better on big lenses. Using my D3 as a sample below. IT being a hobby I am happy.
