Thanks for your help. xoK For new, professional-quality, 35mm SLRs there are the Canon EOS-1v, Leica R9, and Nikon F6; 35mm, professional rangefinders are the Leica MP, Leica M7, and Zeiss Ikon. These cameras can be found at camera stores that cater to professionals and on-line stores such as B & H Photo ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com ). If you want to consider used cameras, there are more pro cameras available than you can shake a stick at. Some off the top of my head include Canon's F-1 and T90, Nikon's F3 and F4, the Minolta Maxxum 9, and any M-series Leica. For used cameras, I'd check your local camera stores, or one of the many on-line sources such as B & H, KEH (http://www.keh.com ), Collectible Cameras (http://www.collectiblecameras.com ), or eBay ( http://www.ebay.com ). ebay There are plenty of very good used Nikon and Canon 35mm SLR's listed on craigslist. Nikon: F4, F5, F6 or F100 Canon: EOS Elan 7NE, or EOS-1v Also look on B&H Photo, Adorama or KEH Sample http://www.keh.com/OnLineStore/ProductLi... Good luck and enjoy This is not a commercial but: I suppose you want a digital camera: Nikon D300 Nikon has outstanding lens. or Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (expensive, both) If your budget is tight, you can try D80 or equivalent. see: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Ca... take a look at: http://www.popphoto.com/popularphotograp... For an old fashion( with film): Nikon. Pro 35mm Film - Nikon F4, F5 or F6. F5 being the best value by far of the three. I just picked up a mint condition F5 for $250! Pro 35mm Digital - Nikon D3 or Canon 1DsMkII/III. There are also good pro non 35mm digital such as the Canon 1DMkII/III or the Nikon D2 series cameras. I can only recommend eBay as I don't know where you live. However if purchasing a pro camera new, I would suggest your favourite local camera dealer. Backup service is important. I have an old one somewhere not being used. |
