[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I got my 14 year old son (many years ago) a well used (VG to Ex-) Leicaflex SL and 50mm Summicron. Mechanics and glass were perfect, but looked very well used. He learned on the best and had to learn the craft of photography because of no automation. He now has an R4sP and several lenses. And knows from experience the value of Leica.
