Low end digital is a fools errand, I'm finding out. I really want to figure out a way to make it work, but without getting in for 3k I'm essentially getting iq that I can get with a dslr. I appreciate the comments and help, but am going to wait a while before I jump into mf.
Yes it is :-), but it can be fun, I do (fairly) low end MFD mostly for fun. For professionals that need to work quickly and on a budget MFD is rarely a good idea. Having second hand stuff without support is not so great when doing stuff professionally, what if the back breaks, you'll need a backup too... better to have stuff that's easy to come by. Or you go all in and pay what it costs.
