Nuth) Organization: MIT, Cambridge, MA Lines: 22 [] I am in the market for a 35mm SLR. It must be fairly small and light (say 24oz). However, I don't want a "compact" fixed or auto-focus camera. I like conventional designs and the choice of lenses that they offer. Size and durability are important, since I intend to take it on bike trips with me. The camera must have both automatic and manual modes of operation. I am willing to spend $150 - $200. I've been looking at the Pentax ME Super and the Nikon FG. Does anyone out in Netland have any comments on these two in terms of quality and convenience? Can you suggest any others that meet the criteria? Please send me email - I'll summarize later. Thanks.
