Hi members,
I need some advice on manual cameras. I have been using a Minolta 800si with a 24-105 lens for a couple of years and I'm pretty happy with it. I thought about getting wider glass in th range of 17-20 and perhaps a flash gun. However, those are still quite costly for me even as people are ditching gears and moving towards digital.
Turning my attention to manual, I figured I can probably get a decent manual body with nice glass in that range. After some research, the Canon FD family of lenses seem to be quite popular and affordable. As for camera bodies, I wouldn't want to go that far back as support & batteries could be a problem. AA would be very nice. The T90 seems like a nice camera (albeit heavy).
Would appreciate any suggestions.
BTW, does CameraWorkshop have a website?
I'm working in Australia at the moment and photo gears are very expensive here. If CameraWorkshop offers their services online ...
Thanks
Matthew
