I'm not familiar with the Nikons , so ,what do you suggest? I'd need it to use the MIR24 as FF lens It has to be an manual focus body , not AF , for helping the focusing. _________________ Cheers , Teo

Yes but you can use them with manual focus, they have excellent matrix meters, probably better cameras to use than the older ones. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I got one some month ago and it seems to be quite easy to use. _________________ Olivier - Moderator

I am leaning towards the EM or FG/FG20 . Found a EM mint for 25E (without shipping) and some FG20 for around 38 E Should I wait for lower prices ? _________________ Cheers , Teo

The Nikon EM was an automatic exposure camera with no manual mode, which may inhibit your creativity. |

Teo: I would really, really advise against the Nikon EM, arguably Nikon's worst camera ever. The FG is a good little camera, but if you can find one, I would go for an FM (totally manual and doesn't need a battery to work) or an FE (requires battery, but has auto exposure ability and long exposure metering). _________________ "Here's to the wonder" -- Alan Boyle
