Hello. I have only the Diana F+ camera with flash & the INSTANT BACK which uses Fuji instant film. Sorry no 35mm back. My used Diana F+ With flash is $43.97+$5.99 shipping. The 35mm back can be purchased separately from other vendors on Amazon for as low as $35+ shipping Hope that helps.

They are selling body only on Amazon UK, but the body only costs more than the camera with lens on Amazon.com USA. Hardly a bargain. Plus you would have to pay for shipping. The website NikonUSA only shows the camera as coming with the kit lens. I'm in the same situation--have no interest in this lens. So I guess now the decision is, should I buy the kit and then go through the hassle of selling the lens.

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

This film roll allows me to take 12 6x6 frames. That is 56mmx56mm. With a Diana f+ you can decide to shoot 52mmx52mm or 42mmx42mm, so you should be able to get more frames out of it. Do the math :)

No problem :) Have a nice day, if you get the lens, enjoy it!! O love it :)

I bought a third party accessory kit from a seller here on Amazon shortly after purchasing the Q (I think it was around $20?). It included two extra batteries, a charger (with car adapter) and some other accessories, and the two batteries included in that kit are fantastic. They work just as well as the Pentax brand battery. And you can charge the Pentax battery in the 3rd party charger, which I found particularly useful as the original charging station has a crazy long cord and gets in the way. I'd definitely recommend picking up extra batteries for the Q--as much as I love this camera, she goes through a battery really quickly!!

Aaron D. Locke has nailed it - get an adapter. They have some here on Amazon that are available with Prime. Be sure to read the reviews. BTW, I use my husband's old FD lenses from his AE-1 on my micro 4/3 camera, and I'm enjoying them greatly.Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter, Canon FD Lens to Canon EOS EF, EF-S Mount Camera such as EOS 7D, 5D, 60D & Rebel T3Opteka Canon FD (Manual Focus) Lens to Canon EOS EF (Auto Focus) Body Mount Adapter with Optical Elements Aaron D.

I just went through the same decision process, in fact I literally bought the D60+ lens kit and returned it (package unopened) for the D80 (body only) + the fabulous 18-200 VR lens. Why? 1) I wanted the additional metering controls vs. the D60 and in fact used all of them on my recent trip to the Hoh rain forest. 2) Keeping to my budget, I opted to spend the money on the 18-200mm VR, and yes, I used its FULL RANGE without having to change lenses. A great way to go when outdoors and taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves (e.g. deer twins walking right towards us while on the trail!). 3) Quickly realizing the super-zoom wasn't going to get me a FAST lens, I was able to pick up the 50mm f/1.4 right before my travels (which would NOT have AF working with the D40 or D60). If I had the $$$ I might have opted for a D300 and picked up the D40/60 for a lightweight second body, but as the only Digital SLR that I'll be using for the next couple of years, and the small price difference, I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Thanks for your tip. Some sellers (in amazon) do not include "UD" in their description. Should we buy the one with UD lens or without?

I would just love some sort of estimated date. Just be up front with us, even if it is a month off. I ordered the black 12-50mm kit. The sad part is, I see so many people getting them from local dealers. The ONLY reason I ordered from Amazon is because I had a really good gift card balance. If I could cash out my amazon gift card balance and go to a local dealer I sure as heck would in a heart beat~

Almost nothing. Put it this way: if you found them for sale at the same price then might as well get the T5i. The T5i MSRP is slightly lower than what the *original* MSRP for a similar kit was for the T4i, but we all know that you don't pay MSRP. Even here on Amazon a nice package in my cart shows the T4i to be nearly $200 cheaper than the T5i. That's because of the Canon discount that ends (this time) March 30th (it has been extended several time since November 2011). Essentially, they are clearing out the T4i and the Canon lineup will continue to have T3i and T5i, but no more T4i. Here's the opening paragraph from CNET's review, which highlights the only actual differences between the two models: "No, your eyes aren't deceiving you: the only significant difference between the now-discontinued Canon EOS Rebel T4i and its replacement, the T5i, is the price and the kit lens options. There are some small enhancements, including a new finish; 360-degree rotation mode dial plus the addition of scene mode; a return of digital zoom during movie recording (which had disappeared in the T4i "upgrade" from the T3i); and real-time preview of creative filters in Live View. But ultimately, it's the same camera." -CNET

Same here. It's pretty clear that the 18-135 STM movie kits are very, very scarce, if not non-existant. Lots of speculation about manufacturing problems, etc. Also just quite possible that Canon jumped the gun on allowing retailers to take orders without an adequate supply, and they didn't anticipate such high demand. One dealer in Hong Kong is claiming to offer them right now, and that's about it. You can't even buy the lens or the movie kit from Canon directly right now.

I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new. And for the kit lens, as I've stated, I didn't get mine with the kit lens but I will say I use the nex f3 with an la-ea2 adapter with Sony dt 35mm f1.8 Sam lens. It works beautifully for beginners. But I am an enthusiast and hobbyist photographer and I will get a semi pro or pro level dslt camera from Sony in future.

There's also a 35mm f/2 from Canon, which can be had for around $230. But one thing to remember about the Canon non-L primes is that the back lens usually isn't coated for digital. Digital sensors are a lot more reflective than film, so unless your optics are properly coated exposures with bright light sources in the frame can receive nasty green "ghosts." This can really ruin an image. Sigma's DC lenses seem to be coated properly. Furthermore, the 35mm is just a little bit too "long" to be a normal lens. One of the great things about shooting normal is you can open both your eyes and see pretty much the same scene. You can't do that with a 35, your camera eye is too close. Finally, realize that the smaller sensor on a digital means your need a wider aperture to acheive the same depth of field effects as a full frame camera. This is the only lens under $800 that approximates the abilities of a 50mm f/1.8 on a film camera.

Let's see: Package price $1049 - EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS $300 - EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS $175 = resulting price of the XTi body is $571 $571 for an XTI body is a little higher than some vendors by $25-50 (you did you mention a bag though) BUT I've seen some crazy bargains pop up lately on the XTi (e.g., $320 body, $420-480 w/kit lens). Keep checking the slickdeals.net forums if you're interested in catching a bargain. These deals tend to go really fast so you'll need to be vigilant. :) While I'm not sure this a bargain price-wise, I can say that this would be a VERY nice starter package -- the lenses get pretty good reviews and are better than the previous kit lenses. Also, according to reports, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS seems to be pretty hard to find in-stock at the moment so I'm not sure how easy it would be to even buy seperately. Its a toss up. If you're looking for a NICE package for an OK price, this looks alright. But if you have Bargain Hunter genes, keep watching for slickdeals.

You will need to purchase a Sony A-mount to E-mount Lens Adapter LAEA4 to attcch this great lens to this E-mount camera. The lens adapter has a built-in AF motor. I think the cost ofthe adapter is around $350.00.I would not want to constantly have the lens adapter attached to the A7 and the 16-80 mm lens. I still like the options on the newer DSLR cameras which have the A-mount. If you already had e-mount lenses then maybe I would buy the A7 but all my other lenses are A-mount and I don't like the smaller body A7 camera.Andy G.
