Hi, I am searching for quite some the for any informations on manual SLRs. I am planning to buy one - now is time to choose. There are tons of used and also some new models on the market and it is not easy to orient.
BTW - I have some little experience on manual film SLR and I am also using C-5060 for ~ 1year for different kind of photography.
Yes - I approximately know WHAT I want to do:
1) landscape and nature photography (some ~ 300mm lens later)
2) makro photography
3) "low light" - mainly outdoor.
What are my candidates?
first of all - of course - there is some price limit - let's say not much more than some 700$ for body and 50mm lens. The cheaper body I will manage to buy, the more I will be able to spent on lenses.
so:
FM3a, FE2, FM10, Yashica FX3 super 2000, Pentax LX, Contax Aria, Contax RX, Maybee some OM? , ...
What else come into your mind?
Of course - all of them have some pros and cons (price for lens, aviability on the market, technical issues) and I would like to ask YOU what would you advice me to chose - or - NOT to chose ?
More specific questions:
How much will I miss the mirror lock-up?
Any particular problems with mentioned (or other) models ?
What about accesories for these guys(lenses, teleconvertors...) ?
Just let me add at the end - I am just using older Zenit 12 XP and it looks like i will enjoy this world.
Thanks for any commets or advices.
