Just heard from a photographer that it was the best range... but you're probably right, I'm
already being pretentious about it and I don't know anything about it! Doh!

No, want it completely manual, want to learn as much as possible. Don't trust machines or automated systems.

Yes, this is the bit I need to learn about. Any tips on blurred backgrounds, light tricks, perspective etc are welcome!

Yes, I refuse to get digital. Want to stick to tradition. And would love to become proficient with b&w, it is classy, distinctive and can create just the right tone... except b&w film is very expensive. Or I could always recolour it in photoshop...
Any idea on cost? Most half decent ones are going on ebay for about £100 ($160). Think I could get a cheaper one that is just as decent?
