In order of acquistion:

Yashica FR
Nikon coolpix 4500
Contax RTS II (x2- liked the first so much I bought a prettier one)
Pentax *istD

First camera I ever owned was a Kodak 126 Instamatic with the flash cube. Remember those?

First SLR was a Yashica TL Electro X. Sold to buy the FR. Wish I had it back. It was idiot proof. Trust me.

So far so good, but there hasn't been any sun yet this year. Overcast & 1/4 mile visibility w/fog. Every day. Supposed to clear up a bit though so maybe soon.

And I need a longer lens than the 18-35. I haven't been stuck with a 50mm max (equivalent) for 25 years! Can't decide what I want to get though. Probably going to go with either the Tamron or Sigma 24-135mm. If I don't get the Tamron 28-75mm instead.

Decisions, decisions- fast glass, or light to match the body?

You get your flash ironed out yet? Read somewhere that others have had that problem and the body was defective/replaced.

The AF-360 FGZ is sweet!

Currently, I use a Canon Digital Rebel w/EF18-55, a Promaster (Tamron) 28-105AF, and EX420 for a flash.

I used to own a Canon EOS Elan II and a Minolta X-700 when I worked at the local photography equipment store. Biggest reason I stopped was because I was sick of dealing with labs and lab times. I love shooting pics, but was horribly disgusted by not being able to know what I shot until the lab finished their part of the work. So with my knowledge of Photoshop and computers in general, I saved up and FIRED the lab. ;-)

still working on this problem. The camera store took it back with no problem. But I'm still waiting on Pentax to send them a replacement. Yes the AF-360 FGZ is amazing. I've had one for about a year and still don't understand most of the buttons. I have a strong feeling that the wireless compatibility will prove invaluable. Do you know if its possible to fire externel flash wirelessly w/out the internel flash firing? My internel stopped working before i had much chance to play wtih it

Olympus C-5050Z

My Equipment
----------------
Minolta Maxxum 5 w/ bp-200 battery pack (which I love!)
Sigma 28-80 and 75-300 lens

Canon Powershot A80 <- my first digital.

I've heard that Minolta will introduce a D-SLR based on the Maxxum 7 this fall so I might look into that so I don't have to buy new lenses!

wwjoeld · Feb 23, 2004

the maxxum 7 digital has been confirmed, it looks pretty good.

It also has in camera anti-shake, built on to the CCD, so you will be able to shoot 1/15 hand held.

Hey...

My cameras are:
Pentax P30 with 35 - 70 & 70 - 210mm zoom lenses.
Fujifilm FinePix A210

Plus a Sigma Superzoom 70, which hardly works as the shutter button sticks, then 2 little cheap cameras...
