Hello everyone! I'm hopefully going to drop the hammer and get myself a Nikon D610 at the end of this month. I'm really excited. I used to use a REALLY beautiful Nikon F2A Photomic and a set of Nikkor lenses including a 50MM f/1.4 and a 80-200mm f/4. They got stolen and I ended up on a Canon 40D that I used for the past 7 years. The thing is, my better half has FINALLY admitted that he'd like to learn photography from me. So, he won't need anything as powerful as a D610 obviously, but he'd like something that is *similar* in function / menus / accessories so that I can teach him the basics of photography as we're out and about.
We were thinking maybe a D5200 would be decent? What might you guys suggest? And which lenses would best suit a 'pair' of cameras, involving a FF and a DX? I know that some DX lenses still work well on a FF body (and vice/versa) .. but which ones? We kind of want to buy the right bits of equipment so that we can share lenses if need be.
Ideas? Thoughts? Thanks!
