San Diego Chemistry Dept Lines: 21 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, W. Doolittle ...sdcsvax!sdchema!will
