Walter, Many thanks for your 'Like' and kind words. While I am still very much a Df user, I found the recent drop in price (at least in the U.S.), due to the roll out of the D850, was too good to pass up. The kit with the 24-120 was like getting the lens nearly free. However, the main reasons I purchased one was: the articulating screen. As another birthday passed, and more appear in the rear view mirror than on the horizon, I decided I no longer enjoyed laying on the ground for low angle perspectives. The pop-up flash is really handy too. In this photo I used the pop-up and pulled it back to - 1.7EV to expose the foreground brush. So, for the price of D850, I got a slightly older technology (much like myself) camera, great lens, same recording media (SD) as my beloved Df, and a trip out West to play with it! Overall, a great birthday present to myself :-) At least that's how I rationalized it! Best regards, Robert

Very good, Robert! 3 different layers of texture + the blue sky, perfectly exposed. The details in the foreground are impressive. What happened? I had you down as "die-hard" Df-user and now you have switched to a D750 (me too!).

Walter, Thank you for your 'Like' and kind words, they are sincerely appreciated. My passion for photography was actually sparked by an old advertisement I saw, many years ago, in Japan, for the Nikon FE2. Translated, it read: "Some artists use a pallet...others use light" Best regards, Robert
