Grumble.

I'm surfing the camera sites. The film cameras I want start around $800 and quickly climb into the $2000+ range.

The digital cameras I want start around $1400 and go up to $8000.

Why couldn't I have had a passion for knitting? Yarn is cheap.

I'm gonna go buy lottery tickets now.

I absolutely enjoy my G1. I have an Olympus C3030Z at work. Both are only 3.3 MP but my G1 easily produces better pictures than the C3030Z.

I really should go out and take more pictures but I want some lenses for the camera for experimenting as well as a flash. The flash is easy to find (Canon Speedlite) but lenses are hard for it. The adapter ring for the G1 steps up to a 58mm thread and I have to find a lens with a 58mm thread mount or a stepdown ring that will mate with some available lenses. Flipping through the Keh and B&H catalogs they're not telling me the size of the mount. Maybe I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if they can help me out. A tele and a superwide would be nice.

Then choose the type of filter you want, then you can sort based on brand, size, etc.

Oh, yeah I saw that. I was referring to the mount on the camera side of the lens to fit my current mounting ring of 58mm (or a stepdown ring as long as I know the size of the lens mount).
