Well my old Pentax K1000 has a severe light leak, so I Decided to get one last film camera. I kind of had to since I was using the K1000 for a Intro to Photography class that required slide film.

I love this camera. It has many features found on the EOS 3, without the "EOS" price. Plus it has Eye Control (where it uses pupil tracking to determine which AF point you are looking thru) and it has ETTL-II (when used with the 420EX speedlite) which I do not think the EOS 3 has! I would be totally satisfied with this camera body if it would only allow Infrared film!

Currently I am using the following gear with the Elan 7NE body.

EF 50mm USM f/1.4
Tamron SP AF 90mm 1:1 Macro f/2.8 Di
EF 28-135mm IS USM f/3.5-5.6
Speedlite 550EX
Speedlite 420EX
BP-300 Battery Grip
E1 Hand Strap
