If you're looking for a film body to pack away in your bag as a secondary camera, buy an FM2. Small, light, fully manual, meters up to ISO 6400 and probably indestructible. Steve McCurry used one, so all your bad pictures with it are your own fault. edit: Anyone know how much Nikon charges to clean sensors? Alternatively, I can get it done locally for $40. I'd do it myself, but I'm a big baby and I'd rather someone who has cleaned hundreds of sensors do it. burzum karaoke fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Nov 20, 2012 |

I bought an F65 a few weeks ago because someone was selling it with a kit lens for $35 and I wanted a standard zoom for my trip and wasn't ready to commit to something better without doing more research. The kit lens worked really nicely, but I have no idea what to do with the F65. It's the fruitcake of Nikons. Maybe I should see if it blends.

SoundMonkey posted:If nothing else, the old 28-80 3.5-5.6 AF-D is a shockingly good lens, for like a hundred bucks usually. Yeah, this is the lens I got for $35. I got a step up ring for my polarizer and it worked really well. It feels really cheap, but the optics are surprisingly good.

D7000s don't read, so get something with pictures.

You should only be putting AI primes on your film bodies anyway.

It's a really nice camera. Just make sure to buy a sensor cleaning kit or be ready to pay someone to clean your sensor a lot. It gets dusty fast.

Paul MaudDib posted:Just a reminder that there's literally no reason not to buy a 105/2.5 unless you are a chump. I've been skulking around on ebay trying to snag one for under 100 for the past few months. I'll get one eventually. I've convinced myself if I just buy poo poo that McCurry used I'll have no excuses for my bad pictures.

They should sell memory cards that only hold 36 shots.

Holy loving poo poo the 105mm f/2.5 rules. If you don't own this you're as retarded as I was until I did (very retarded).

Musket posted:Scrub, get the 135DC. I got the 105 because it's nice and small for shooting concerts with. It's actually substantially lighter than my 50 1.2 that I usually use.

My D600 is really, really good at taking pictures of sensor dust.

The FM2 is Nikon's best camera. If you've already metered for highlights and shadows where you're shooting, then you're only slowing yourself down by checking the meter further.
