Might as well go direct to digital then.
I don't know about digital. Depends on what he's doing . . . numbers of
images at one time and print sizes. Digital isn't the answer for
*everything* yet. I've crunched the numbers. Systems that seriously
*equal* 35mm film capabilities require a horrendous amount of money. One
can buy an entire medium format system: bodies, lenses, film backs, etc.
for the same price.
If having a system with continuing OEM support is an overriding factor, I'd
be looking at the Nik*n F3, FM3a and FM2n bodies with Nikk*r AIS
lenses. They're still in production and it's likely they will continue to
be for at least some number of years. Yes, it's heresy, but that's why I
mentioned the "continuing OEM support" caveat.
