Hey all,
Im looking for a Film SLR body to replace my Canon 50E as I do not have any Canon lenses anymore ;D

Could you please suggest me any models that could fit my current nikon lenses ?
Ive seen nice bodies on eBay but some of them are just too expensive...so all advise welcome :)
 
Auto and AF: Nikon F60, approx £20 - 30
Manual: Nikkormat, similar price
 
I was looking on F60 on eBay last night...
so you say it is good ? I do not need anything special :) just to be working with lenses I have :)

50E was pleasure to use.

Im still looking for a cheap lens to fit it on :)
 
The F60 or F65 is a good choice and if you need a lens, look for the camera coupled with either a Nikkor 28-80mm, 35-80mm or the 35-70mm, I have placed the lenses in my order of merit and the 28-80mm G lens makes the Nikon top ten best ever lenses in Ken Rockwell's opinion, love him or hate him.:lol:

What lenses do you have?
 
35 f2 and 105 DC at the moment
this 28-80 would be good for walkabout :)
Need to decide now if I want to buy extra film body and this walkabout lens for it ( or just stick 35 on it) or buy walkabout lens for Canon body....simillar lenses can be bought for around £50....

anyone here looking for Canon film body ? ;)
 
Don't think there is anything with eye control (not that you asked). I love that about my 50e though. :eek:

The F60 + 28 - 80mm AF Nikon is my preferred camera if autofocus is needed. Paid about £20 - 25 inc. lens, although I may have got lucky you can certainly pick up a body for that price. IMO it's better built than the price point competitors I've tried and obviously takes all Nikon lenses - with program limitations for manual focus versions. The AF is prompt too, which is important.

Just got in from shooting street scenes at a food and drink fest and it did what was required.

thanks for this link :) it was really useful :thumbs:

So I took a plunge and just bought Nikon F90x with grip :) for £59 ;D including p&p so I think it is good price for this kit :thumbs:

Should give it a go on next TP meet as I plan to take it as my only camera for the day :)
