Quick question : do you have any problem in the street or anywhere with your camera ? Do you hide it everytime ?

I think badgered is looking for used lenses.

Wait until you get to Mumbai - the road that runs between CST and Flora fountain, called DN Road (Dadabhai Naoroji Rod) has many camera shops selling used kit. I too was looking at 50mm f1.4 Nikkor primes the other day and found a few - but beware of the quality, some of them are pretty banged up Don't buy until you have checked everything twice over - I'd bring your FM2 body if IIWY. But they are cheap, so even if they are rubbish it won't hit the wallet too hard if you have to dump it. I traded in a used 18-70mm DX Lens a month ago around there, so they do buy lenses as well.

There is a little shop also in DN road called BB Vartek & Co (187 DN Road) who sells loads of classic cameras - old medium format, rangefinders etc. He may have some fast prime lenses there too.

"do you have any problem in the street or anywhere with your camera ? Do you hide it everytime ?"

I never have, and I've been on the road for 7 months now. I use a rangefinder though, so it's small and easy to deploy and put away when I need too. Then again I've seen rich Versace tourists with gleaming Canon SLRs slung round their necks on full view in Colaba, and they seem to have their limbs still intact.

i think the message is that if you can't bear to lose it, don't bring it :)
