Ah I didn't realise! Hadn't even tried them out since getting the film camera :bonk: Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the advice! How is the optical quality of the 28mm f3.5 AI may I ask, sharpness-wise?

Sounds like you're well versed in the art of traditional lenses :lol: I'll have a look into the three you've mentioned. Thanks very much for the effort you've gone to here!

You're right about the website not being up to date :lol: Will have to give them a call I think. Thanks for the link!

Ah I think I might've been there once or twice. Thanks! I have an 18-55mm kit lens and a cheapo 70-300mm, but I just assumed they were both DX lenses and thus not compatible. Is that correct?

Good evening fellow TPers. I've recently been going through this 'old is the way forward' phase, and just bought a Nikon F601 online for around £20. Anyway, it was delivered yesterday and I've realised that the one lens that I have which is compatible (my nifty fifty) is quite restricting in...

Can't recommend Kenya enough. We went on one of the tours that meant we stayed at 4/5 different places, and although the travelling can be a little tough, it's entirely worth it. (Hint - get a blow up cushion to sit on in the van. It may seem like nothing, but it really helps!) You also have to...

Haven't had any direct experience but if you go for the Nikon D90, I've heard really good things. You'll certainly have some change left over for lenses, accessories etc. Think they're going for around £350-400 (sorry, exchange rates aren't my strong point!) used with a kit lens.

Apologies for the lack of replies as of late, been busy with exams (ohhh, the plight of a teenager!). Wow, that sounds like an amazing trip. I hope I can get someone to go with, I think it'd make me a lot more confident. As it stands I've got a friend who is partially interested, but I...

Yeah I was thinking that too. Don't get me wrong, the people in Kenya were all amazing when we were there, but I just feel that Canada's a bit 'closer to home' with regards to culture etc.

I have around 4/5 months to travel, depending on when I've had enough of work! Matt - I've been having a look at some of your suggestions today - Yellowstone, Grand Teton, etc. - and it looks like that would be a good idea. They all seem relatively close together so I could minimise...

Ah, funny you should mention Yellowstone - that was also on my list. Have you been? I'd love some insider knowledge.

Hey! I'm Rhys. This is my first thread in the forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong place! I'll be finished with my A-Level studies in July and have decided to do some travelling before going off to Uni the year after. I plan on working from July '12 up until the following May/June...
