Hi,
trying to get back into the game, I do realise, that my old Minolta x-300 is probably a bit too outdated (can't remember when I've seen an analog film last!) bit of a shame since the 28-70mm kit lens and the Auto Revuenon 50mm/F1.8 lens are lovely. Anyhow, I'm looking to get some new kit to dive into photography again: I'm looking at the Nikon D5k and D7k at the moment but I'm really thinking of getting a good older camera body second hand (I don't care much for wifi connection and that sort of stuff) for a lower price to be able to fork out on lenses instead. I would be grateful for some suggestions for dated cameras of good quality which would also allow a maximum of manual operation. Lens-wise I think I'm quite settled wanting to start out with an 18-55mm kit lens and an 85mm F/1.8 doing some city shots in Liverpool and some close up stills and maybe dipping my toe into portrait.
I would really appreciate your thoughts!
Fabian
