Sometimes we all become too interested in the camera body because that is where most of the gadgets are. But it is the lens that makes the picture and most often the lens has a more direct influence on the eventual image quality 'output'. If economy is a consideration, you should consider buy a less expensive camera body rather than less expensive lenses. If you buy a SLR camera with only one lens is also not logical because you might as well buy a cheaper camera with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens like a P&S. But modern lenses has such fantastic features such as high power zoom with previously unimaginable zoom range which actually makes a single-lens-do-all photographic system viable. All those messages posted on the variuos Message Boards for SLR Models are not short of interesting comment and remarks on lenses. Well, not to confuse others who are just interested in cameras, I thought there is a neccessity for a separate Message Board for those who are interested in discussion on various issues on lenses as well..

Does anybody know of an adaptor that enables you to fit a FD lense onto any kind of digital SRL body (like EOS D30)? I can not or should I say do not want to believe this is not a market as there must be thoudands out there willing to pay an extra bit of money to use there FD lenses on digital Camera equipment. I hope to get some good news on this, thanks in advance...4. From : Carol (fiftiesgirl3@aol.com)

To Gordon Smith: To problem you describe is well known, especially for shift zooms like the Nikon 80-200mm. Adding additional grease will not help, and chaulk would only enhance abrasion on the already worn-out parts. The only advice I can give is look for a maintenance workshop (but there aren't many for older lenses); perhaps replacing the grease inside by a more viscous one will help. Rgds. Hermann Graf10.

I have a couple of Nikon non-AI zoom lenses and their zoom/focus rings have become so loose that they are very hard to work with. Mounted on a tripod and pointed slightly upward, gravity takes its full effect. Any ideas on how to make them perform properly ? Maybe a little silicon caulk smeared sparingly on the lens barrel ??
