Hi Erik, As you see, I am not hesitating. 15 years of photo experiences should give you a competitive edge! *smile* Thank you very much for your prompt reply. It feels good to be welcome, also as a beginner. The camera has got a 55 mm, a basic lens. At least one of the people at the market told me so. I am going to check out the links you have sent me. Thank you very much, by the way. How much should a lens cost, for example the 28-70 and the 135/3.5? Because I am also attending the ebay auctions it would be a great help to get a clue at what time I should stop or bid more.
