Thank you for above clarification on lenses. Most lenses that I see on sale on ebay are prime lenses I believe. Regarding your second question, I just want the camera for ordinary use really, no intention to shoot something very specific. it is my first camera and I will need to play with it to get a fell of what it can do and what I need. SO I am most looking for something universal now, but yet practical suited for a wide use.

great overview, very structured and clear! thank you so much. it really helps my understanding... With "long" distance I mean e.g. panorama shots of nature, cities / street view, (not starts and planets :D ) I am not sure I understood the second listing of the cameras - do they replace the first, but only designed for zooming? Cheers!

Thank you. Seems like Minolta is out of my list by now. I need something very easy and light... :)

Yes I know very little about film cameras, other than I tried it on a couple of shootings and got pretty cool pictures, and liked the whole retro experience with it. You always need to start somewhere, I guess :) I prefer to start, try and then see where it leads me :)

Hi everyone! I am going to buy my first ever film camera which I would like to be a Japanese vintage from around end of 70s or early 80s. I have narrowed down my search to the following models which seem to be quite good based on the reviews and forums I have read: Pentax MX, Olympus OM2, Minolta SRT. 102. I will buy the best option available (price, condition, case, lens). I have however no idea about how to choose lens and what lens is the best, most practical and universal solution. I would like it to be quite light to carry. I would like to have 1 or max 2 lenses in the set, so I am looking for sort of best option for long and short distances. I have zero understanding of lenses and parameters e.g. mm and ft, so please someone help me! :) On the other note, does someone know, do the cameras that I listed above require some sort of power charging or battery? if so, could you please tell me what? Ideally I would like something with zero maintenance. Is battery a sustainable choice long term? Thank you in advance! Alisa
