I'm looking for a camera for my girlfriend. I remember a post some time back about advice for buying a good pocket point and shoot. You all had some marvelous suggestions. Well, now my S.O. has the camera bug. She's looking for a good manual 35mm SLR for around 200-300 dollars. We've looked at Canon AE, Nikon FE2, F3. She liked the F3, but the price is a bit high. Her requirements are: 1. good glass. 2. Easy to read meter(led preferred over needle) 3. Good sturdy body with solid feel, manual film advance preferred(that's MY girl!) Exposure programmed modes are not of concern as she'd like to learn manual exposure(again, that's MY girl). AF is also not a concern. Any suggestions? TIA, in order not to clog the LUG list with a non-leica thread, responses can be sent to pklingaman@hotmail.com Thanks again, I appreciate your recommendations.
