>>1042378If you want to get hi-end gear for very cheap and don't have a setup already, then don't get a current lens mount like this guy
>>1042575 suggests. If you get one with a Canon FD mount (the one that came before the current EF) you can get the same kind of glass at a fraction of the cost, just minus the autofocus which is gay anyway.
You can go for the classic, a canon AE-1. It's got all you need, they're mostly mechanical so not many electronic parts to rot like in later models with digital displays and whatnot, but recent enough to not have many problems because of age, extremely well built, so common you can get one in great condition for peanuts and you can get all kinds of FD lenses for very little money.
I've got a brutal AE-1 setup: 50mm f1.4 lens (bought this with body for 120 europoors, a new EF 50mm f1.4 lens costs like 350$), 28mm f2.8 which I got for 40 euros and a 100-300mm f5.6 which I got for 100$. I also got me a winding motor which runs on AA batteries. My whole setup cost me less than a brand new 50mm f1.4.
