New Camera, Looking for opinion.

m3_arch · 05-09-2007, 04:29 PM

Ok, well it's not so /new/ but it was my mother's camera and she doesn't really have time for photography anymore. Anyways its a Canon EOS A2E. I know it's from the early 90's, but it's a SLR.

Anyone have any experience with this model line from Canon? Have yet to go out and experiement with some pictures but I will soon. It's not exactly an expensive camera anymore. It has a Sigma 28-80mm AutoFocus Aspherical Lens and I have a 35-200mm manual lens, but i need to find the adpater for it.

Here's a quick shot of it.

I have a broken foot, (The good foot too) but I'll try to mosey around and get some pictures taken.

Thanks

The EOS 5 (also known as the A2E) was/is an excellent film body and only taken out of the lineup in Feb. 2000. Get some film and use that sucker.

Took a roll of film today to the lake, getting developed now. Will post em up tomorrow. So far I like the camera, still some getting used to and more experimenting to come.
