Both of these can be found for < $100 pretty easily. I've seen them in the $30-60 range recently, which means he can get one now, then later as he gets richer, can step up to the LTM. Otherwise, if he wants to start with the LTM crowd, perhaps a Canon IVSB ($100-150) or Bessa R ($250) or beat up Leica IIIf ($200-300) might be good choices. I'm a big fan of my Canon P, prices seem to range from $250-400 on ebay: http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/CanonP.html Karen Nakamura - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
