Both 80's vintage CD players I bought new
died early deaths. One was a 1984 Sony
and the other was a 1988 Magnavox. Since
prices were falling so fast in the 80s
I replaced them both with new units rather
than pay for repairs. I then bought a
Carver in 1991 but even it acts up once
in a while now.

My friend wants a zoom. He doesn't want to mess around with changing
lenses. He's not interested in "image quality" beyond snap shots and an
occasional 8x10. He's not interested in building a "kit" and carrying
around a bunch of lenses, ot trying to decide which to take with him.
However, I'd

I used to think I wanted a zoom for travel. That was until I
rediscovered the pleasure of primes. [Let's veer OT: why are they
called 'primes' anyway?] Now, my M24-35 seldom strays off 24, my
F70-210 is pretty well fixed at 210 and the FA28-70 generally stays at

I've had excellent results with the Sigma 28-105 f2.8-4 on a ZX-7
body...A real
good cosmetic match too...Super sharp at 70mm and just a tad soft at 105mm
so nice for portraits. Pop Photog test in Jan. 98 issue I can mail you a

Ho Paul,
Because he wants an autofocus camera that's small enough and simple
enough for his wife to use.
He does want interchangeable lenses, as he might want to borrow some of
mine some time, so fixed-lens P&S cameras are out. He's happy with the
ZX-7. What's "auto wipe"?

If he has a Spotmatic, why not go buy a decent used SMCT Zoom 85~210? Hell, it would
cost not much more than (if that) the cost of
the repair. And forget the plastic crap.
Or (blasphemy) go find a nice Canon Sure Shot Zoom - I hate to admit it but my wife
