New Retro Nikon Df

The Nikon Df is now officially launched. In case you've been living under a rock for the past few days, the Df is a 16MP, full-frame DSLR with the sensor and processing guts of the company's flagship D4, and an AF system borrowed from the D610, all packaged up inside a body inspired by a much earlier generation of film cameras. In fact, from the front the Df looks like an oversized Nikon FM (and not dissimilar to Canon's F1N).
For those of us raised on film SLRs the effect is rather intriguing. We understand that the Df has been at least four years in the making, and the glee of its creators is almost palpable in the many specific design cues obviously taken from earlier SLRs including the FM/2 and the long-lived professional-targeted Nikon F3.

Nikon Df key features

• 16 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor (same as D4)
• ISO 100-25,600 (expandable to ISO 50 - 204,800 equiv)
• Maximum 5.5 fps continuous shooting
• 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type AF points (same as D610)
• 3.2-inch, 921k-dot LCD screen
• Physical shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation dials
• Compatible with virtually all Nikon F-mount lenses (including pre-Ai standard)
• Single SD card slot
• EN-EL14a battery (quoted endurance of ~1400 exposures)

According to Nikon, the 'F' in Df stands for 'fusion' - specifically, fusion of the old and the new. We know all about the old: the 'retro' styling - after all, the Df was widely leaked before its announcement and Nikon has been teasing it to death since the Photo Plus Expo show last month. Which leaves us with the 'D'.
The 'D' is of course for 'Digital'. The Nikon Df boasts a full-frame sensor, 39-point AF system and a maximum shooting rate of 5.5 fps. The LCD on the rear of the camera is a 3.2", 921k-dot display and, despite its 'fully manual' pretensions, the Df boasts front and rear control dials alongside the dedicated physical dials on the top-plate. It's a thoroughly modern DSLR in fact, but with one major difference.

Visvim

Hiroki Nakamura

 



 

The allure of many Japanese brands is the mystery of their origins, the inaccessibility of the designer, or the sheer absurdity of the product. And the allure of Visvim is that it stands in opposition to all those things. Designer Hiroki Nakamura started making shoes in 2000 and soon expanded to a full line of footwear and apparel. Many of the brands on this list are strictly about the visual aesthetic or their performance, but none combine the two as perfectly as Visvim does.

Since Day One, Nakamura imposed strict quality control and ethical manufacturing practices at all levels of creation to ensure that the garment that reaches the customer is of the highest caliber. And the combination of American Western and streetwear is an aesthetic that stands on its own in originality and freshness. How dope are they? John Mayer went from certified douche to stylish guy just by draping himself in all Visvim.
