This is probably the wrong place to be asking about this, as I'm sure you guys are all biased in one direction. But, I'd still like to hear your opinion.
I'm unfortunately a big SLR user 😉 just like most amateur photographers, and I'm thinking about selling my S2. I absolutely love using it, but for the price...I could have two new lenses for my digital SLR, which might be a bit better use of money. Why don't I just save up? Well...I'm going off to college next year and any extra money I have is gonna go towards that. So I have to make do with what I have - in reality, I'd sell my Nikon F and a few of the pre-AI lenses. Or my Pentax SLR's. But those are all family heirlooms, not really sellable. I still use them, anyway. But I now have a D300, which is a pretty serious camera to have considering I really only have two lenses for it (a 10-20 and a 50, on film it would be a 15-30 and a 75). I was thinking about getting a 30 1.4 and a 85 1.8 (equivalent to a 45 1.4 and a 120 1.8). I've started doing band photography and child portraits, and at the rate I'm going already, if I could land a few gigs and shoots, I think I could have enough money to buy back an S2 and keep the money coming in. OR...I could keep what I have right now, and progress a bit more slowly in the money area. What would you guys recommend?
