So I've started taking pictures with this EM that I found and mentioned in a previous thread. My question is, how do I know what lenses can be attached to it? I've been trying to read online about it but I don't understand the designation of the lense Nikon uses and many places say that while the body for the EM should be universal there are many lenses which should be compatible but aren't. I dunno it seems very confusing and I'm hoping someone here might know something about it.

This is what the lens says:
Nikon Lens Series E
2073728
50mm 1:1.8

Other than that I know nothing about it. It came with the body and a speed light my mom said. She got the camera when she was in high school lol.

THAT LENSE IS NOTHING TO LOL ABOUT
nah jk, nikon's (and canons and most other companies) 50mm 1.8 (also known as a PRIME lens) are your best value. a brand new one costs you $100, not a peny more, and are the sharpest and best lenses for low light/available light photography. 50mm is also considered the "normal" focal length for 35mm cameras.

now if you want to start talking what other lenses you could buy, im going to ask you, what type of photography do you intend on shooting?

Well wouldn't a standard telephoto lens be useful? I use the 10x optical zoom on my Fuji like mad. Also I like to get close to some things and so use the macro feature on my fuji a lot. Are macro lenses hard to come by?

I'm gonna be taking the two rolls I have taken messing around with this camera to Walgreens to get developed tomorrow. Does anyone know if they have a service where instead of making prints they take your roll and digitally develop it for you, i e, I get a cd with my pictures instead of prints? That would be very useful to me at this point when I am still learning as I'm sure none of them will be print worthy.

The general consensus is that 99.9% of labs suck at scanning film and you're better off doing it yourself.

you can get a zoom+macro lens. sure its not as good as buying a zoom lens, and a macro lens, but its a fuckload cheaper

I'm afraid the link doesn't work... Hmm 89$ though for the cheapest zoom lens under Nikon film on that site. I wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to just wait and keep practising with this camera and get a better SLR down the road... In the other thread it sounded like this camera was pretty limited.

I work at the wal. Ask for cd only, it shold be 5.14$ plus tax. 2.15 for developing and 2.99 for a cd. Lately the computer has been printing out the wrong labels and charging people 3.99 for the cd, make sure it doens't.

I don't know about any one else, but I have found that the lab at Costco is pretty good about developing
1. nice prints
2. scanning negatives
3. developing fine
