I figure this will warm the hearts of the film dinosaurs on the list :-)
But it is a legitimate request. A friend of mine needs a manual focus, 
manual everything SLR camera with standard lens for her teenage son's 
photography class, and has asked my help in choosing one. I guess the 
default recommendation is a Pentax K1000 or possibly ME Super; but what 
are similar offerings from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Minolta? It has to be 
2nd hand, since all their new cameras are autofocus which is out for 
this purpose.

TIA

Nathan
