I currently own an Elan 50e, EF > 28-80 IV, EF 50 1.8 and a 75-300 IS. Maybe I will get it with a new 28-135 > IS. Any suggestions on IX model, or else? Willing to spend something > reasonable for an amateur/hobbyist. My wife bought an IX after using a Minolta MF camera for years. She's generally satisfied with it, but realizes that she must use ISO 100 film (hard to find) to even get close to the sharpness she was used to. She has made some very nice photos using my 200/2.8L, which prompted the response from a friend, "I thought you had one of those point and shoot APS cameras." The IX has roughly the same features as the Elan II, without the ability to do multiple exposures on the same frame or second curtain flash sync. It also does not have the Quick Control Dial on the rear. If you still want one, you should be able to find them dirt cheap used. In fact you may be able to find one used with a 24-85 lens for less than what a lens would cost new.
