I would like advice on purchasing a new 35mm SLR.  Here's what I
have in mind:

1. A camera with interchangeable lenses, remote-control cord plug,
   semi-automatic w/shutter priority (but with manual override),
   speed settings from B (or whatever keeping it open forever is)
   to 1/1000, and a built-in light meter and flash pad.  I am 
   currently considering the Konica FT-1, but I would appreciate
   any suggestion that is cheap ( < $200) and recommendable.

2. A zoom lens, probably 35-105mm, with as low a f value (whatever)
   as possible.  I am considering a Vivitar 35-105mm f3.2 macro.
   Oh, yes...I'd like a macro.  Once again I want to spend as little as
   possible.

			Thanks for your help,
