• Reccomendations for a 35mm slr? Currently only use a mju ii so want something with more settings and ability to change lenses. Also found it difficult getting photos level with how small the Mju is.

    Budget less than 100 preferably, im very much still an amateur so nothing too fancy. Was thinking something like a 35mm prime lens. Anyone have anything for sale or just know what i should look out for? Canon AE1 keeps popping up in research

  • Just one lens? Think about which mount you want, AE1 has FD which is very obsolete (consequently cheapish). With an EF mount you can buy/resell modern lenses which may not be appealing - extra cost, but better resale and compatible with modern digital if you ever decide to get one of those

    the bodies are ridiculously cheap anyway, I got my EOS 50E for like £10

  • EF is all modern lenses? Never bought my own SLR so this is new to me. Being able to steal my dads lenses would be ideal...

    Sounds like aperture priority is what i should go for, not the AE1. Buying a cheap body and experimenting with lenses that can be swapped around sounds like the best shout. I'll have a trawl through eBay using @Uoeno 's list and look out for a deal

    Thanks all!
