Hi - Thanks to all the members of the list who took the time to reply to my request for advice about the F60 Vs the F70. I forwarded all the message to my colleague, who went out last Saturday to have a look for himself at all the contenders (Canon EOS 500, Pentax MZ-50, Nikon F60 and F70). A large packet arrived at work today. There is now a new member of the Nikon fan club. He eventually decided on an F60 and a 35-80mm lens. A decision I was slightly sceptical of, but I have to admit, that for the type of photography he wants to do, this appears to fit the bill perfectly. Thanks again for your help, Martin. -- ********************************************************************** Martin de la Nougerede Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mullard Space Science Laboratory Phone: 44 (0) 1483 274111 University College London Fax: 44 (0) 1483 278312 Holmbury St Mary Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6NT, UK **********************************************************************
