Nikon FM2n
I have just got for christmas, a Nikon FM2n + 50mm f1.8 and a MD11
winder from Jessops. Can anyone tell me if this is a good camera to start learning photography or should I take it back for something else, poss better model. The salesman there told me he thought it would be a good model to start with for my new hobby....? Please advise! |

You might want to pick up a 35 or 28mm lens for the wider view and an 85, 90 or 105 for a longer view too. No rush at all. Fixed focal length lenses can be found in a lot of used equipment displays in the stores or on e-bay. The winder is not essential. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |

Great for learning and still used by many top pros. The 50mm is a very nice lens. Try to find a 28 or 35, I prefer the 35, and a 105 for portraits. The 105 f2.5 lens is one of the best Nikon lenses ever. It is too bad that they have never offered it in an AF mount. Jim |

Its a great camera make no mistake about it. probably the best to learn on
and use professionally too. ! would have gone for the Nikon fe2 as the additional benefits would be TTL flash and aperture priority mode metering -- All outgoing emails are scanned with Norton Antivirus 2005 "Mozzy Fan" wrote in message oups.com...

It is also a good camera to keep learning photography. Contrary to what many think photography is not an equipment-sport but an art calling for love and devotion (hmm.. also some knowledge). But yes, it might be the only camera You need. You might want to consider a wide-angle (35 mm ?) and a short tele (105 - 135 mm ?). |

Terrific camera! I've been using the FM with MD11 for over 20 years.
This combination will not hinder your growth, only increase your knowledge. The major difference between the MD11 & MD12 is that the 12 will shut itself down after 50 seconds. Don't forget to turn off the 11 when you are finished shooting for the day or when you put it in your camera bag. |

Sure !
1. You should dorp down Aperture and Shutter Speed for each photo. 2. You can take photos at noon as well as at night. 3. Photos of portrait and landscape must be included. "Mozzy Fan" egroups.com...
