<p>Thank you all so much for your insight (and incredibly thorough responses!) I think I'm going to try either a 28-85 or 24-50 to begin with. </p>

<p>Thank you both, and I do see your point! I've been shooting with the prime lens. 50mm f/1.7<br> Experimenting with another lens is something I've considered - perhaps I should do this first. Any particular lenses you would recommend for landscape and street?</p>

<p>Hello! I'm currently a first year college student majoring in photography. I have been shooting 35mm for a little over a year now with a Minolta X-700. Now that I feel I am getting the hang of things, I am a little unsatisfied with this camera. I'd like to purchase a new 35mm within the $100 price range. A sturdy camera with sharp lenses. I mostly shoot landscape and street photography. I've been looking at medium format cameras too but feel I should continue shooting on 35mm a little longer. (And I know that most medium formats and TLRs are a little out of my price range right now.) I'd also like to make the switch to digital somewhere down the line. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you so much!</p>
