basics and think for yourselves!!!! £100 for the freedom given to our fathers!!!! FireBall I bought mine from www.ffordes.co.uk!! Best decision I ever took! |

Forget the new generation of 3000000 segment metering SLRs. Go back to
basics and think for yourselves!!!! I normally shoot a full-automatic canon, but more and more the automatic functions are left off. I shoot with a handheld incident meter for portraits inside and outside and cam on full manual. I can fully understand your point. Even though you have a full-automatic set it to manual focus and exposure and experiment. My former photo-teacher made us use our cams in that way to learn the basics. And now I never shoot anything more auto than aperture priority or shutter priority with careful metering. The meter in my EOS 7 is very nice with spot, matrix and centreweighted modes. £100 for the freedom given to our fathers!!!! Very nice price for a well-functioning camera. And lenses are cheap too for the FD-bayonet. |

FD 85/1.8 is about 200 $ in excellent condition, the EF 85/1.8 is 320 in bhphotovideo. I can not see a very big difference. But - of course the FD lenses are much better built and can work longer than plastic EF-s. wkg |
