I'm thinking of picking up a Canon Elan 7e off craigslist for cheap. I'd use this camera primarily for fun and for concerts (where I'd be scared to bring my digital).
I currently shoot a Canon 40D with a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. I'm moderately pleased with the Tamron's performance (pq doesn't seem as good as my Canon 28-135mm lens all settings be equal. The zoom range of the Tamron is infinitely more useful to me though.)
All I have is the 50mm f/1.8 to use with it. I think it'd be a fun toy to use in extreme lowlight situations with b&w 1600.
So, for low light performance, do you think I'd be satisfied compared to my 40d (at say iso 3200 f/2.8 vs. f/1.8 1600 on film)? Is this a good, fun purchase? Or am I better off turning my back to the film gods and spending time and money elsewhere?
Thanks,
Wyatt
