Posted by TheGuitarist Thanks for all the info. Obviously I'm not limited to just those two options, but I am in the $300 range due to my VERY limited budget. |
Posted by TheGuitarist Why doesn't anyone make a cheap camera that can take good pictures in drains? xD I have a fairly good knowledge of using cameras in manual mode, so if anyone has any recommendations, I'd gladly listen. |
Posted by NotBatman If you're willing to go used, you can find a lot in your price range. http://www.bhphoto...rt&mnp=150&mxp=350 |

Posted by Trackrunner I checked out that link, is this any good? I'm not sure if it includes the lens, but if so then I think it's quite a good deal: http://www.bhphoto...ital_rebel_xt.html |
Posted by NotBatman You'll still need a lens, but you can pick up a decent kit lens for nearly dirt. |
Posted by Sceptic I have the opportunity to pick up a Horseman 45HF with sinaron 90mm f4.5 along with four film holders for $1,000. Apparently the porthole was modified in order to accommodate this lens and others. Quick suggestions would be appreciated! |
Posted by DawnPatrol I would be a little weary of ebay, especially when it comes to buying lenses. I would hate to drop a couple hundred or more on a lens and get it only to find it's scratched or dirty inside or whatever else. That's why I recommend craigslist. It's nice to try before you buy. Though make sure you come prepared, if you're buying a body bring a lens and memory card, if you're buying a lens bring a body and memory card, etc.. |
Posted by ISO640 Just a tip for all looking for decent but cheap digital gear. Check out KEH.com. I don't work for them and they're probably a well-kept secret I shouldn't be sharing but they offer affordable used gear and their rating system is very understated. Meaning, I buy products often that are marked EX +or- and they're more like new. I've never had a problem with gear I've purchased from them. IMO, it's safer than Craigslist. |
