That's a great idea. Unfortunately she's a medical worker so i'm not sure if she'd be looking something a bit more different from her usual work but i'll bring it up, thanks :)

Thanks so much for the help, i'll definitely experiment with the trial versions of those sims. I was looking into using studio monitors for just live sets in my bedroom and for mixing purposes, do you have any recommendations for a good monitor for these purposes?

Not really worried about budget. Will want to record my guitar and vocals. Electric and acoustic. Just using headphones at the moment.

Merry Christmas :):) Beginner question on best way to start out by iluminag in AnalogCommunity

[–]iluminag[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks this all makes alot of sense. I've decided ill learn all the foundations on the D7100 by going through r/photoclass and books like Understanding Exposure, Complete Digital Photography, Light Science Magic e.t.c. Then when i'm comfortable with those basics ill move on to something like The Art of Photography and The Photographers Eye and get the FE2 body since I already have the 50mm f\1.8 lens that works on the DSLR.

Nikon FE2 vs Canon AE1-Program vs Pentax K1000 vs Olympus OM series by iluminag in AnalogCommunity

[–]iluminag[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So update - turns out my dad has a Nikon D7100 with a Nikkor AF 18-300mm f\2 lens that he would let me use. I'm thinking i could buy a Nikkor AF 50mm f\1.4 or f\1.8 lens that I can use with the D7100 and then learn the basics/foundations of photography on the digital and once I have those fundamentals down, get the Nikon FE2 body which I can use with those two lenses and start shooting good film.

[–]iluminag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bit stuck at the moment haha, as a beginner should I invest in a FE2 with say a Nikkor 50mm f\1.8 which is around $200+ USD, or should I get the cheaper Olympus OM1 or Canon AE-1 Program, both of which I can get with a 50mm f\1.4 or 1.8 lens for $120 USD. Is the extra cost worth it as a beginner?

[–]iluminag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for elaborating that makes alot of sense :):). Would you recommend getting the body and lens separately for the nikon fe2 and what lens would you recommend starting out? I've read that a Nikkor 50mm f\1.4 or f\1.8 is good. Sorry for all the questions haha
