I am fairly new to photography and have a Nikon FM with a 50mm f1.4

lens.

I want to round out my system with a both wide angle lens and another

for portrait and telephoto work. This is just a hobby but I want

quality, durable equipment. So I intend to stay within the

Nikkor/Nikon family.

After reading many of the posts here, I am inclined to buy the

following two lenses. My budget for the two, together, is about $350.

Nikkor 24mm f2.8 (for landscape)

Nikon 75-150mm f3.5 Series E (for portrait and telephoto work)

Assume these two, plus the 50mm, are the only three lenses I intend

to own (famous last words!).

I'll probably get both from KEH in bargain condition. I have had

good experiences with KEH in the past.

I would appreciate feedback if these sound like good choices given

the budget and applications I've described.

Can I safely use this multi-dedicated flash with my Nikon FM having

only a standard ISO hot shoe?

Of course the flash unit has capabilities the FM cannot take

advantage of, but should I be concerned that the extra contacts on

the shoe of the Sunpak will somehow electronically damage the camera?
