Robert, I don't know how your marital stability stands, but pace yourself. Keep an eye out at local camera fairs. Sometimes you'll see something that seems like a great deal, and then you might find you could have had the same camera for 1/3 the price. The most I've spent for one camera (other than the digicam) was $45.00. I've picked up a nice old folding Ikonta for $5.75 US on E-Bay, all because its description didn't guarantee that it worked. If you're looking for an SLR, an old Praktica with an M42 lens mount might be your ticket. Bodies are dirt cheap, and they're not that bad. Lenses aren't hard to find either. I got a Pentacon electric 1.8/50 lens for $10.00 at a camera fair, and I get nice results with it. |
