I would like to get one for the other half as she had her old Olympus and Pentax film cameras stolen. Had a sigma and pentax lense missed and wonder how compatable they might be with a new SLR?
I guess a budget of $1k or less.
Pic's of landscapes and close ups of small fauna interest her.
Cheers.
Just looking for some knowledge with which to be armed when going out to buy.
Thanks
A modern Pentax dSLR will still take all pentax K series mounts, even M42 with an adaptor although there may be some loss of functionality depending on lens.

The sensor on a Nikon D7000 is 17mm. Remember the film is 35mm. This has an effect on the parameters of the lens. Bear that in mind.Quote:

In simple terms has a factor 1:1.5 so your 200mm lense becomes 300mm.
I wanted a light slr so I settled on a Compact - Olympus Pen E-P2
Olympus Pen E-P2 Kit | Olympus Digital Cameras | Ted's Camera Stores - Ted's Cameras
I kitted up with 14 - 42mm, 40 - 150mm zoom and 77 -300mm zoom lenses.
2 X 8gb cards = over 2000 shots
2 X Batteries = anround 700 shots
3 X U/V filters
1 X Polarising filter
1 X Car battery charger
And a few other bits and pieces
New and well under $3k
Might be an optioCheers
