- I didn't realize how detached I've become from current cameras
- and such until I re-entered the market.
-
- I currently have a Canon AE-1P, with the usual assortment of
- lenses and various and sundry accesories. It has served me well
- for ten years and I expect it to do so for at least ten more.
- However, it is excessively bulky for some uses, and has also
- suffered two failures in the past 2 years.
-
- So, I need a backup camera, both for on the job and personal use.
- I am more or less aware of the current crop of inexpensive 35mms,
- but they are so automated that they are little better than high-
- tech instamatics for my purposes.
-
- My requirement therefore is for a compact 35mm camera. Not
- necessarily an SLR. Changeable lenses not a requirement. Manual
- focusing a desirable option. Manual shutter/aperture control a
- required option. I would like it to be fairly inexpensive, of
- course :).
-
- Any recommendations or ideas are most welcome. Thank you in
- advance.
