I have been using a 30+ year old Maranda Camera that belongs to my father. I think it is time to upgrade to something a little more current.
I've looked around online quite a bit. There sure are lots of cameras out there. I'm leaning towards something purely manual. I shoot black and white film, mostly landscapes and some random inspired shots. I enjoy operating all the settings and things myself. I've used a Nikon N80, to experience working with something that has lots of functions and settings. Even though it has a manual mode, I find it very cluttered with features that I don't yet know how to use. I'm leaning toward something more like the Nikon FM10. Any suggestions would be appreciated...
-What brand and type of lenses would be good to start with?
-What other gear would be good to have?
Thanx so much for your opinions.
