[Leica] Re: cheap film camera

[Summicron1 at aol.com (Summicron1@aol.com)]

there's lots:

A Nikon F2 with normal lens can be had for under $300 -- built like a brick, 
marvelous, has meter, usually.

Canon FT-QL cameras -- camera and lens uunder $200 -- built like a brick, 
marvelous camera, totally reliable.

Pentax Spotmatic

and there are many more, but those are the best -- hell, you could buy a 
Canon F body for $250 with a lens, top of the line, pro camera line leader. 
All 
these have through the lens meters.
