I have been looking for a DSLR for the past 4 years. The job market has put a damper on my purchase. But I think I am ready.
I was looking at the Nikon D40 for years. But I have a Nikon FG with 2 lens. One is a Soligor 85 - 300mm f-5. The other is a Kalimar f-28 mm.
I learned that I could use these lenses on the Nikon D80 which is something I can afford.
I have also been looking at the Pentax line because I am not into brand names as the first and last decision maker and the choice of lenses is long.
I want to use the camera for macro photography with coral and marine fishes. I also would like to use it for my sons golf team and the other soccer team.
I also plan on finding a forum which has the weekly assignments educate myself on how to get the job done with a dslr.
Thanks for any help and I do hope this is not to confusing
