What is it about the D850 that makes focusing with a 1.2 so easy? I have heard the same comment from many photogs.
Kevin - I can't say for sure, but must be the focus screen in the viewfinder. Lenses just "pop" into focus. Even the slower aperture lenses that I could not consistently focus on the Df are much easier. I haven't even picked up the Df (with the K3 screen installed) since I started shooting the 850. Also, the D850 live view has focus peaking for situations where critical focus is a must.

So you're not using the green dot? And how would you compare it to using focus peaking on the Fujis.
Hi Leighton. I find the MF with the D850 better using the XT2/XPro 2 with focus peaking. Focus peaking works but with fast lenses it often misses the critical focus point. Of course you just enlarge the view but it takes longer. The D850 is very much like using a Leica M9/M240 RF.
