But for a novice in RF photography, I am afraid that using, say, a IIIf, with its clunky film loading, the need to look through separate windows to focus and compose, and the absence of a light meter, would merely sour the person on the whole RF experience. That is why I think that a modern, low-cost CV camera like a Bessa R2 is a better choice in such a situation.
