We can add a Mamiya ZE-2 with a 50mm lens on it and a flash gun to that equation as well. Lovely, well built bodies, I must admit. The Minolta X700 I was using in Lahndahn at the weekend has since decided that the LEDs in the 'finder don't work any more, meaning I was pointing and hoping for some of the shots. |

I went to Jacobs at lunchtime meaning to by this: NIKON 50mm F1.8 AFD but the wife, (who I met there) insisted I buy a NIKON 50mm F1.4 DAF instead. I also picked up a UV filter... Happy John! |

Very nice! I've a feeling f/1.4 is the fastest you can get a Nikon camera, due to the size of the mount and the distance from the sensor/film, so you can't get a faster lens! |

So when's the world going to implode??? Two of my suggestions have not received mass-criticism today - something's not right!
Definitely! I found that once I'd used my kit lens to get to know my camera's controls, the nifty-fifty was really great for learning how to take decent pictures. By offering such a massive aperture, and removing any element of zooming, it made me focus on composition and the like. |

I will let you know how I get on with it. The youngest has her swimming lesson after school, but I'll try and take some test shots when she gets home and get them uploaded a.s.a.p. I won't be able to upload them until tomorrow thjough, as I've gone over my monthly limit on Flickr |

Recently took delivery of a couple of 3-stop neutral density filters (not grads) which should come in handy in a few weeks... :) |

I think there are a couple of f1.2 lenses using the f-mount. |

You could always delete it. Oh, you can't, because I've posted now. I've been meaning to add my stuff to this thread, and as I've got stuck watching Columbo, when I should be going to bed, here goes. Canon EOS40D Canon 17-85mm (kit) lens Canon 75-300mm f1:4-5.6 lens Canon 100mm f1:2.8 macro lens Canon Speedlite 430EX external flash and Stofen diffuser Cokin P filter system with (at time of writing) 2 NDs and 2 ND grad filters Manfrotto 055XProB Tripod and Giottos MH1302-652 Series II Ball Head Bits and pieces that I have include- third party cable remote release (a fraction of the cost of the Canon model) Manfrotto hot-shoe spirit level and a bean bag from here http://www.camerabeanbags.co.uk/ I have a number of items on the shopping list for the near future, including more filters, a Gorrillapod SLR Zoom, and I would really like a massive injection of artistic talent, but I'll stick with buying DSLR monthly and live in hope that it will give me the advice and inspiration that I need. |

Cleared out the carp room and I have found a Nikon AF NIKKOR 28 - 80mm lens with a 1a Skylight filter and a sun hood. It was attached to the NIkon F60, but there is still no sign of the second lens which I thought it had. |
