What would you guys suggest I look at if I want to totally leave the world of 35mm and move to digi? My current list of equipment is:
Nikon F3-HP
+ MD-4 (forgive me if I get the model numbers wrong) motordrive
+ SB-35 hammerhead flash
Nikon F-301 (N2000 in the US)
3x Nikkor AI-S lenses:
20mm f2.8
35-70mm f3.3-4.5
105mm f3.5 (I think)
Canon Ixus APS camera
Canon Digital Ixus camera (5MP, 1MB card)
I do love the robustness of the F3 setup, it's 3.5kg/7lb and I was nearly mugged for it in NYC (I went out of character, took a step closer to the guy, looked him in the eyes and said 'you can have my camera, in your effin face, now p**s off.') I must have been crazy. I love its mechanical sturdiness. The instant click when I squeeze.
I suppose I should ebay the bodies and get a Nikon Digital body. Do they accept the old AI-S lenses? What functionality do the new lenses offer that the AI-S won't? What is a good amateur Nikon digi-body to buy considering how much I love my F3?
Cheers,
Simon.
