I wish I had an uncle like that

Go for the fab 50mm, I have a canon av-1 and also a 50mm the pictures and quality are excellent from it.

Re: Just been given a Canon EOS 30 film camera!!!

Will take a look around for the 50mm (is that known as "the nifty fifty"???)
flippin heavy tho' if you ask me.. that's just cos I am right now used to my Fuji S9500 and the S5500 before that probably

I had an istDS pentax a few years ago that was super pics were great but I seem to remember even that was not as heavy

Just been to pick up my D60 this morning so the canon may sit on the shelf for a bit

Cannot use the Damned Nikon till Christmas however... Bah Humbug

Yes its the Nifty Fifty and comes it 2 versions. 2.8/f and 1.4/f.

I would still have the Canon over the D60. But not over the D80
