[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 341604, member: 29753"] I've just been clambering around in my loft. I wanted to find my old Canon A1 to remind myself of the weight of the body & lenses. Out of interest, my old lenses where (all Canon USM) 24mm, 35-135mm & 100-300. Camera & lens weights are 879g, 1074g & 1161g (without battery or film). The A1 body does feel a little wide, the zoom lenses feel a little cheap. :( Thanks for all the tips, they are all very useful to me as I'm not able to visit a proper camera store without spending a good slice of my budget. I'm currently thinking of leaving wildlife work for a phase 2 as I don't want to compromise my lens choices for the main stuff. I also found my old tripod & a Kodak box brownie - my first ever camera! Several have mentioned getting a flash. As the camera has an inbuilt flash for occasional fill-in, would I need one straight away? [/QUOTE]
