To answer 90 5.0 on previous camera:
A Konica FS-1
I had borrowed a friend's for a trip and loved, it, knew I wanted shutter priority, and although smaller than the D-90, had that battery case. So holding it was no problem. Not a pro camera, of course, but a lot of fun for me.
Konica Hexanon AR 50mm F 1.4 (Automatic)
Tamron 80-210mm F/3.8-4 CF Tele-macro Zoom, Adaptall-2 Mount system
I picked out the 50mm lens, wasn't going to settle for the kit. The Tamron was a surprise gift from my spouse. So, yeah, hard to beat 1.4
I would have been using the Tamron for any action. ASA 400 was my film of choice. Never liked 100 or 200 because they always looked too saturated for my taste.
The camera began not advancing film and was sent in twice for repairs with no luck. I was told by someone who deals in these cameras that the FS-1 was known for that. End of my first foray into photography but I used it a lot. Long spell before the D-90.
I guess the better question would be, if you put a 7200 and 500 shot side by side, manual focus/zoom, would there be a difference in the shot? I see more clarity or sharpness in the 500 shots. But, is that a matter of the auto focus system of one camera vs another? What is it I think I'm seeing?
Manual: I have a little background in studio cameras and in the day, you'd have to follow the action, roll focus, etc. So I'm not uncomfortable going there. And sometimes it's just fun to try.
Not even academic, I suppose, but it's helping me analyze so thanks.
