I need your advice on buying used SLR gears. (1). I am looking for a SLR body plus a 50mm prime lens and flash as start-up. (2). I need to use it as a good tool to learn such techniques as depth of field. (3). I am open to either manual focus or auto focus, but one thing that is very important to me is the lens mount compatibility. (4). My main interests are outdoor and landscape. I recommend the Minolta maxxum/dynax 5. Minolta is coming up with a digital SLR so you will be able to use the lenses again. The camera is good for learning, also has DOF-preview, among other features. Canon EOS has simple lens mount compatibility and IS lenses. Any Canon lens you buy for a film SLR now will be usable on their digital SLRs too. IF you are serious about photography you might want to go directly to digital. That up for debate and the OP already has a digital. Peter |

Old MF Nikons let you get LOTS of lenses cheaply. |

Except a modern camera. So you buy one and go out and have some fun. Good
for snaps and family holidays I suppose. I wouldn't but a POS like that. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Dominic Richens" wrote in message ...
