Hi guys,
Just need some advice..

I recently won one of the award (generation N) of Nikon Photo Contest 2014-2015 and they will be giving me a Nikon DF Body (BODY only - no lenses). Should I sell it away? I am actually a sony user .. I got my A7M2 from SWPA and I already have a few set of lenses (all sony e mount.. FE/vintage), my gears should be sufficient for my current photography works or in the coming years..

So the question is should I keep the DF and maybe get a cheap nikon lens like a backup camera? (or it is more wise to sell it away and invest in maybe newer lenses/other gears in the future - then I will stay with Sony line)? - currently have a6000 & a7m2.

appreciate any suggestion or insights given thanks. rclxub.gif

Since you already have some very decent Sony cameras, imho there's no point in keeping the DF. What's more FF lenses are really expensive  cry.gif Sell the DF, then buy some better Sony lenses  thumbup.gif

I'm only using 2 system because no one buying my Canon system! tongue.gif

Well yeah it's as the above, no point keeping 2 systems.

Furthermore the Nikon DF would be best paired with a good lens and they're the price of another A7 camera body.

haha I see.. alright noted!
But i wonder will ppl b interested in buying the DF?
They will ship it from Japan for me to pickup here in nikon hq.. so abt the selling price, how should I set it i wonder.. ori market selling price? sell in forum? or can sell back to local retail shop (does this even work lol) sweat.gif

Sell.. Unless you have the cash to support 2 systems.
