Hello
I am very new to photography and have inherited a Nikon SLR 35mm camera
from my dad, and need some help with what lens to use. I don't need any
zoom, I simply want a very slim lens to use as the current one is very
bulky (8cm long or something) and I know that I just won't use it as
much.
On every website I have visited, the lens seem very advanced with zoom,
automatic focus etc. I need something of good quality but just rather
basic in its credentials. I essentially just want to look through the
viewfinder, focus the lens and click.
Surely this shouldn't be too much to ask?! I would be very grateful for
any help or advice given.
First determine the model of your camera body. It should be on the body:
F, F2, F3, FM, FM2, FE, etc. Then go he

Hello,
Thank you for your replies. Sorry I have just had a look its a fully manual F301 probably from the early 90s (I guess). The lens is a standard Nikon Bayonet fitting. Ideally I just want a lens with a manual focus to make the camera super slimline so that I can fit it easily into my pocket/bag and will be of much more use. I will have a look at these links but any suggestions would be very much welcome.
Thanks
