no it doesnt have af & i certainly woulndt recommend having it if you want to take up photography as a hobby.the manual fucus system this camera has is very easy to use & is very acurate

Okay well I will keep it in mind but I think I want one with autofocus for action shots etc. Thanks for the offer though and Ill let you know after talking to a few people.

Thanks for the offer but I got me a Nikkon F55 with 28-100mm lense for 49 quid off ebay. Bargain.

Shame I can't afford digi though.

Are you sticking with film then?

I can't believe I did 18 months at college doing photography and about 2 years later, digital started to come through, and I realised all the developing and printing skills I learnt was a complete waste of time:hihi:

As much as I enjoyed this side of it, the time it takes to get things right can't be justified now. I can do on the computer in 2 minutes what might have taken all morning in the lab:rolleyes:

I'd definitely start saving for a DSLR if I were you. (that's what I'm doing)

I plan to go digi soon enough ASH. Just gonna get Leeds festival out of the wya then start saving up. Fancing a canone eos of some sort I think but may a D50 or something like that. I like my nikon film cam but Ill have to see what I can afford when it comes to getting one.

A good grounding and not a waste of time.
