Well the FD ain't autofocus and the 1.4 will have the same sharpness as the 1.2L.

Does the FD lenses work on newer Canon cameras (the mounts)?

| Nikon D50 vs D70
So i'm contemplating on either the D50 or the D70.
I use to be an avid photographer but have stopped over the years and have recently been getting back into it over the last year. Planning on brushing up on my photography skills and potentially partnering up with a friend's business or starting my own.
What do you guys think between is a better commitment? Pros? Cons?
Thanks

I think this'll come down to your budget. The D70s to my knowledge is clearly a better camera and has many added features that you may not use at first, but wont want to miss if you end up using the camera a lot (ie: remote flash triggering)

if you don't shoot high-ISO shots, get the D70s
otherwise the D50 is a better low-light camera because it's got better noise performence when you crank up the ISO setting.

body wise, price isnt much of a diff
its the kit lens that makes a big diff with the d70 having a much better lens thats worth roughly 400 bux versus d50's kit lens, which is only $150ish

By going with the Tamron or the 28-135mm IS, I can just keep the kit lens (18-55mm), but by getting the 17-85mm I can sell it.
Tamron is cheaper but no IS
Really need your opinion on this guys!
Thanks
