I'm not sure about anything such as camera jargen for the j1 I mean I use a Nikon f2 most of the time
My wife really like taking photographs. She wanted to be a professional photographer. But she never learned any photography or anything. But she takes pictures with a normal 10.8 MP Samsung Digital camera, which is basic and 6 years old. I really want to buy her much professional camera and equipments she need to do photograph; and want to put her in a photography course in a collage. And I want buy a sony laptop which would very much good with photography. Not sure what when and which to choose. I want to give her full surprise with the complete package this year; as we're married five years, I really want to make her happy as her dream come true.
Please advise me which camera suits more; what kind of equipment she need; which laptop suits for photography; which software is the best one and what relevant course she can follow at a college.

Where can i buy a nikkormat manual film camera?
I'm new to photography and i'm taking a class that requires me to have a 35mm fully manual slr camera. My teacher recommends a pentax1000 but i really have my heart set on a nikon nikkormat camera. There are no shops near me that would have one so i'm looking online. The problem is i'm on a tight budget and can't spend too much on the camera. Also i would prefer if i could find one that is being sold with a 50mm lens. So my question is what are some good websites to buy this type of camera from for a reasonable price besides ebay, amazon, and HBPhotography?

Recommendation for a zoom a little wider than Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens?
By all accounts the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens is optically very good but for my purposes I need something slightly wider. I think 18mm DX equates to 27mm FX but I would like an optically very good DX 'standard' zoom that will go to the perspective equivalent of 24mm (FX).
I think the 10-24mm (15-36mm) might be a little wider than I need and f3.5-f4.5 variable aperture is not ideal, although I could overlook that if it's optically very good.
Although it's a bit bulky and pricey (and for FX) would the Nikon 16-35 f4 lens (24-52mm equivalent) be a good choice?
This should give an equivalent of 24-52mm but I've seen mixed reviews.

But photozone thought it mediocre -

I don't mind paying a lot more for the Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, (21-36mm equivalent) which by all accounts is optically impressive, my main gripe being that there's no protection for the front lens element, unless there's a third party solution? I also like 'VR'.
Any recommendations?

Adapting Nikon lenses to GH2's?
I have a GH2, and my dad has a nice collection of Nikon lenses that I can use for a movie this summer. I just need help on which adapter I can buy that will fit all the lenses. I took an inventory of the lenses this morning and this is what I know so far:
Some lens info:
There are 6 lenses in total.
One is a Sigma "Super-Wide" 24mm f2.8 (incase that makes a difference)
The rest all said AF NIKKOR on them.
3 are zooms, 3 are primes.
I know the "AF" is probably a dead give away mount-wise, but I'm not a Nikon expert and didn't want to *** up and get the wrong adapter by mistake.
So to be on the safe side, can any Nikon lens experts give me a tip please?
