A question about the Nikon DF and zoom lenses:
I have 24mm, 35mm , 50mm and 85mm lenses which, for a lot of the time, are great. However, I tend to stick to one lens for each outing as I don't like, and it's not always convenient, to change the lenses when I am out shooting. I've just came back from the Swiss Alps and so wish I had had a zoom lens with me. I used the 24mm all the time I was there, relying on my OMD E-M5 with the 28-150 for closer shots.
However, I have read a few times that zoom lenses aren't so great to work with on the Nikon DF due to the ergonomics of the camera. I just wanted to ask if anyone does use zoom lenses with their Nikon DF and, if so, which ones would they recommend? Or are zooms just too much of a handful?
