Thanks for the lead anyway, I’ve looked at them before, I guess they’re running out of stock to modify to the digital cameras. I think the K3 is what I would have wanted, not sure what the only Eg-AF option is based on…
300mm ED-IF
GeorgeBo wroteI did two bodies using screens from Focusingscreen.com based in Taiwan (I think), but last time was in 2021 and now there are tariff issues to deal with. I did a quick look and they have less options for the Df than they used to and none based on original Nikon screens. So may not be worth it now.
I tried to spend some of your money
AdaptedLenses wroteEven when I’m trying to sell this board wants me to spend more $$$! 🤣
But what’s good for that now? IIRC one went out of business and the common one on eBay is garbage (I think).
GeorgeBo wroteIf you think you are going to hold on to that Df, I recommend putting in a split screen/microprism focusing screen.
AdaptedLenses wroteFun exercise in futility!

And yes, try to focus the 50 1.2 with the OVF wide open close... THIS is real fun...

Excellent photographs by all in the last several pages.
The Alacazar of Sevilla, 11th-14th centuries. The tickets sell out fast, we purchased them two weeks prior to arrival and time slots were already filling up.
Patio de la Monteria (1364), entrance from the main courtyard:
Hall of the Ambassadors (1366). It was a filming location for "Game of Thrones".
Dome ceiling of the Hall, incredible details and workmanship

SergeBeautiful place, Serge.
It sure is, Siphiwe.
You would love the blooming gardens in the spring.
Focusing @f/1.2 was never easy, specially with (D)SLR in low light. Even with split screens and KatzEye Optics and similar aids it was not even close, IMO to EVF at decent resolution and magnification level.
This is a dangerous challenge. I think if I got all my MFNG in one picture, someone in my household would permanently ban me from participation in this forum

At my worst, I had 467 lenses in my collection. All manufacturers. 99% were vintage. Now I’m down to about 30. Nikon, Canon, M42…
