This latest batch of posts are all helpful and I am grateful as I need to learn. The D200 I inherited from my deceased brother, who used to come up here a couple of times a year and wander around taking pics. He brought the camera here when it was new and I was impressed with it. I've never had serious photo stuff before and was limited to snapshots with not many options. The D200 lets me learn before I leap, so to speak, and I have already realized that what is out there today must be impressive although out of my immediate financial reach.
I got the 55-2.8 lens off ebay and I am happy so far. It came from an older film camera and i have played w/ the camera more in the last few days than I did in the four years I've had it. As with audio, however, I must await the resources to enhance my capabilities and I must balance developing an older rig versus going w/the newer stuff(though too much plastic and too much in the way of technological restrictions will play into my choices).
The comments offered here are very good and shed light on things as well as open up my thinking. I appreciate that.
