I have a minolta dynax 600si with a 28-200 lens on it, costs around 400 second hand, but i use a 50mm lens with an adaptor for my macro - which is a semi fish eye also. The macro is a strange make - sirius - but it works very well! Best thing about it was that it was shock horror 15. Don't know if you live in the UK but if you do, jessops do great deals and have a 2nd hand section in most, if not all, of their shops. Thats where i buy most of my lenses and none of them have let me down yet =) Cheaper alternative, but really good too are Pentax SLRs - i think the MZ-M is brilliant, a good friend uses one and has had no problems at all so far. I like using Prakticas (spelling??) theyre all manual and WAY cheaper than the others. I just prefer the focus ring on them. Get one for about 50 second hand! Minolta do my favourite lenses. Heres the jessops second hand site: http://www.jessops.com/secondhand/ hope it is useful!
