Hi Zuiks:
A list member (John Lind?) once remarked that if we were rational people
we would all own a N*k*n and three lenses.
I don't believe it was me . . . but does sound more rational!
I am writing my "take-home" final for the photography class that I'm
taking at the University of Idaho. One question is to advise a young
person who currently owns no equipment, but is interested in gradually
acquiring a quality system over time. They have a current budget of
about $1,000, but it is also likely that they will receive additional
gear over time from friends and relatives for graduation, Christmas,
birthdays, etc.
Regretfully, I don't see how I could recommend Olympus, in this
scenario. So far, I have come up with a N*k*n FM (or FM2 or FM2n), the
50 mm f/1.8, and the 105 mm f/2.5.
28mm; as fast as the budget allows. If not that, then a 35mm.
For the rest:
Body: Used Nikon FM3a, FE2 or FM2[n] (all preferred over FM or FE).
Lenses: 50mm f/1.4 if budget allows, otherwise f/1.8, and somthing in the
100mm - 135mm range; as fast as the budget allows. NO ZOOM!!
