I don't suppose you have any experience with the 24mm f2 ais? A friend is selling for the same price as the f2.8s seem to be going for but I've heard mixed reviews on the flare and distortion.

Well thank you very much for clearing that up! I guess I can focus on looking for a 35mm lens now

I'd rather have an Alfa

It's the ai lens with the blue f16 marking and that's all I could tell you ahah, I'm not very well up on Nikon lenses

So far so good! My only issue is I find it quite difficult to hold, I think I'm going to look for a grip for it. Other than that I'm really like it so far!

Thanks for all the replies! I had a om1n and hated it and the idea to get another A1 is a good thought however since I sold my FD lenses I wanted to try something now and was going to buy a Nikon f3hp however I actually ended up getting a Nikon fm3a a few days ago. I know it uses a needle meter which I specifically said I didn't want however in use I actually quite like it so far and the build quality is top notch! It came with a 50mm f1.4 ai lens which is ok but seems a bit wierd wide open so I might sell and grab the f2 as that seems sharper

Well it appears the Nikon f3 is the way to go then! The next question is what's the best 50mm and 35mm lenses?

Thanks for all the information! I was looking at a Nikon f3 already so I might just bite the bullet and give it a go! You never know if you like something till you try it as I found out with the olympus om1 and the minolta xd7 which both came highly recommended and I hated both

So my beloved canon A1 just broke and now I'm looking for a new camera. I'm looking for a slr with a digital readout in the view finder showing the aperture/ shutter speed as a LCD numbers like the canon A1 does and not a dial or needle. Any recommendations? Cheers
