Well, I can only say something about Nikon... Body: Nikon 8008 2nd hand in perfect condition for $200-$300 or Nikon F80 for $300-$400, which is much newer. Lens: Nikkor 55mm 2.8 Micro Ais 2nd hand in (at least optically/mechanically) perfect condition for $150-$200. That's the best I can come up with as far as my knowledge about these things go :) Maybe Alpha or Sue0 can give you much better info on this.
