The amount of both Kodak and Fuji film on the shelves at Wal-Mart, Target,
etc seems down from last year, but there are still a large number of single

My girlfriend's dad has broken a wind-arm on his Nikon FG20 SLR and has
asked me if i can find out what a new body would cost and what upgrade from
the FG20 would be good.  I have seen these bodies sell for around £40 on

I'm interested to use my Rokkor lens on a modern CANON EOS DSRL (with
APS-C sensor).
I know that the distance between the sensor and the focal plane is
43.5mm on Minolta MC mount and is 44m on CANON EOS mount. This
