[Leica] Best Learning Camera

[John McMaster]

Not much use on an M8, perhaps a LTM Canon or similar lens.....

Pricey pricey, Lluis!! IMHO, that's crazy money to spend on a youngster who's only getting her first camera and might drop it when the rest of the photography class - and her teacher - all rush over to have a look at it all at the same time.
How about a 35mm MC Rokkor and adaptor which can be picked up for peanuts?
