Re: Which cameras for 'A' Level Photography?

Yes, Erm, I agree with all that.

It may be useful to use zooms/longer lenses when studying angle of view or something, but you can zoom with your feet and the dof aspect is more useful at the short end, so you will learn more on a plain old 50mm lens than on anything 'special'.
Except I'd rather have a fast (f/2) 35mm lens than a 50mm - 50mm just seems a little long to me (on a full frame camera). Not really important, and probably more to do with the way I look at things. In any case, good 50mm f/1.8 standard lenses are dirt cheap, even new!
