Excellent set. Nail it.

FFS dude, think, or at least get the correct information before you post such ridiculous and uneducated statements such as this.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the government actually would take care of their veterans the way it should? Instead veterans have the fight for their benefits sometimes for years.

So, no, the Veteran Administration do not take care of the veterans that need help 100%, unless you're 100% bed ridden for the rest of your life from the get go, and sometimes even then, you have to go through so much hurdles.

Don't believe me, just ask veterans if they get the 100% you're claiming they get for life.

It is nice to hear an explanation as to why the offer is lower than the "quoted price" when selling your equipment to one of the big retail companies, but we need to be in touch with reality. These retailers might or might not tell you why they're giving you less or sometimes more than what you personally expected. That's the reality of it.

I wouldn't feel offended, get bend out of shape, take it personally, or whatever. I'd either accept or decline. That's all. For used camera resellers things change from day to day; specially in today's bloated market in comparison to the hey days market for cameras. Better to sell one on one with someone through a private sell. Both win.

For me, it never left to make a comeback. Still shooting with film.

Awesome picture.

Damned. I didn't see the "X" factor on the third row. I need to change my answer.

For me:

Digital...Nikon Df.
Film: Nikon FM3a

It's a Canon. Made for Canon cameras.
it was the second most powerful in the EX line. This is a great, not just a good flash. It can be had for under $100.

You have nothing to worry about it if is in perfect working condition (no issues). If you can trust buying a Canon camera, you should trust their flashes. They are not some third party flashes where you have to worry about compatibility.

And, I'm a Nikon guy. So, this is not coming from a fan boy.

I have both the D750, and the Zfc.

I love the Zfc for travel due to it's small size and ease of use, while being a very capable camera specially in low life, BUT, for more critical use, I prefer my D750 or The Df.

Nonetheless, Nikon recently came up with the Zf, a full frame light and smaller camera. A camera that is supposed to be fully capable. Check it out.

18- to 105. That's your best bet.

But, and there's always a but, you should consider taking the 50mm for those low light situations that you will encounter while shooting, specially indoors. It will hardly take any space.

Here is the top of the Chinon CE-4s camera:

My first camera: Chinon CE-4s. A gem of a camera for the time and price. February of 1981, 28 years old. I was reading a magazine. I can't remember which, but there was an add for the camera, 50mm, f1.7 autofocus lens, 135 mm f2.8 lens, carry bag, filters. All around $110. For some reason, it never occurred to me to buy a camera before, but I liked the price for the package, and reading that it was K mount like a Pentax (which at the time I recognized as a good brand), I cut the coupon from the magazine, filled it up and sent it. Around 3 weeks later I had in my hands my first camera.

I still have and use this camera. It came with Chinon first attempt to an autofocus lens (which I still have. It's not the one shown here). The autofocus, was OK, but slow, awkward, and bulky (a 50mm lens). I took out the autofocus motor/housing from the lens; covered with tape the part of the lens that have the opening where the autofocus system linked with the lens and voila, I have a good 50mm manual focus lens. In 1991 I moved to Pentax autofocus SLRs system. In 2017 I moved to Nikon system with the purchase of my first digital camera, the D750, for the money one of the best Digital camera ever from Nikon.

Loved it. Moving, got me tears in my eyes.

That must be a very good lens for an all purpose. That, and I bet your great ability to frame and take close focusing of a subject such as butterflies. I have tried, but nothing comes close to your pictures.
