Thanks very much for the information. I am now feeling little bit comfortable reading your email about the lenses. I will be using 35mm film initially and I have the lenses you mentioned. I am little bit nervous at this time to take the new job, however I will be accompanying my Father-in-law for sometime and follow him around when he is on job. I am currently taking pictures for practice with the following film, does anyone have any feedback or comments on the film? Optima 100 135-36 Agfacolor Professional Color Print Film (ISO-100) CN 135-36 Fujicolor Superia 100 Color Print Film (ISO-100) Thanks, Srinivasa Regeti --- ADavidhazy <andpph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Srinivasa, > > Not sure I can help you with what lenses you'd need > but if you will be > shooting 35mm then I'd say possibly a short zoom > plus a longer telephoto > or, if fixed lenses then 24mm, 50mm and 135.
