It isn't a bad camera. It is a GOATed walkaround that weighs nothing and if you slap a 35/2 AF-D on it you can travel the world with it. Battery life is decent and they weigh nothing too, and they are cheap now.
Here's the best reason I love it. Karens, (most) dumb Americans and liberals think you're a college student with a film SLR so they will leave you alone and I can get shots on it that would be difficult with a D4 because it hides in plain sight. People will ask you for a picture with it, with my D4 people think I'm casing the place or up to no good, or a PI, but with the Df I hide in plain sight as an art major or college student and people leave you the fuck alone, even with a big pervy 70-200/2.8 slapped on it. I should have brought it to Ireland and not my D800 but Europe is a different place than Puritan Murica.
Should you buy one to slap retro lenses on? Well, Jeremy Clarkson liked to use the coffee analogy back in the 90s Top Gear and there's no harm in stealing it for this one. There's Cappuccino, all of the Fuji mirrorless retro cams. Beautifully presented, but ultimately unfulfilling. There's Espresso, the D4. One shot of that and it will blow your head off at 10fps. Instant coffee, the Sony Alpha mirrorless, even a small child can figure it out and they are fairly ubiquitous.
Then there's filtered coffee: does the job, hits the spot, it's the Df.
