All my lenses have an "information ring" which will indicate the DOF for a selected aperture.

Hello:

<p>

<p>

I would like to upgrade by lens to make sharp 20x24 enlargements. My budget is $50-80, and my requirements are a 6-element lens in very good condition optically (definitely no smudges or cleaning marks). It has to be 80 (preferable) to 105 mm focal length. Here are the examples:<p>

<p>

Beseler Pro 90mm<p>

Fujinon 90mm EP or EX<p>

El Nikkor 80mm f/5.6 N or 105mm<p>

Rodenstock Rodagon 80mm f/4 or 90mm<p>

Schnider Componon 90mm or 100mm<p>

<p>

If it is not a M39 (Leica) mount lens, I would also need a 4x4" lens board with mounting hardware for it.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you all for your input!

 

Lucas Bennett, are you saying that DSLR, like Canon Digital Rebel with a good lens will have better picture quality than Minolta A2, even at low ISO setting? And no, Hasselblad and digital back is out of my budget and weight preferences :)

 

JC uknz, what do you mean by "prosumer" cameras, something like Minolta A2?

 

Thanks again,

Oleg

I would like to have a waist-level finder (LCD or optical) on a DSLR.

OK, I guess I should qualify that by "DSLR" I mean a camera with

large, at least 22.7 x 15.1 mm, sensor and interchangeable lenses. Is

such camera currently available? I'm aware of discontinued Kodak

DCS620, and 720(?). Thanks for any ideas!

I, like Jeff, would like to use LCD screen as the viewfinder, but on the other hand I recognize the utility of DSLRs (interchangable lenses, large sensor). Technically it's not impossible to have both these features. I wonder if any current DSLR has an option of using LCD as the viewfinder?
