In my experience, my friends who bought entry-level cameras wanted to keep their spending to the minimum in case they weren't able to handle an SLR. This meant that they tended to buy those second-hand old lenses. I'd had SLRs for decades so I was happy to spend more money and get newer equipment. Your mileage may vary. Regards once again, Rog.

Before you ask - not all airlines permit digital cameras to be used during flight and many prohibit them during the take-off and landing phases of the flight. I fly with an airline that has a total ban on digital equipment. It's a good airline (usually on time, plenty of leg room and so on) so I'm happy to use a film body. Regards, Rog.

The point is that the lens *will* work. And that is true for lenses going way back into the 1970's for Nikon; which is *not* true for Canon cameras. >> people who buy entry level cameras don't usually buy a lot of old >> lenses and people who have a lot of lenses don't usually buy entry >> level cameras, so it isn't actually much of a problem. > >In my experience, my friends who bought entry-level cameras wanted to keep >their spending to the minimum in case they weren't able to handle an SLR. >This meant that they tended to buy those second-hand old lenses. > >I'd had SLRs for decades so I was happy to spend more money and get newer >equipment. > >Your mileage may vary. People who buy entry level cameras should read the specifications before buying. Why didn't your friend do that. They also typically ask friends who use cameras for advice, and you should have made it a point to let them know about older lenses and entry level bodies. Why doesn't that happen with your friends? Or, perhaps your irrational claims are not true; you made it up on the moment to support your equally irration opinions on Nikon cameras??? -- Floyd L.
