This would be a great first camera. Rock solid with a great lens.
Exactly - I'm just looking for a cheap entry level camera - but obviously wanted to know the ones that had decent lenses, different film speeds and a decent zoom range on the lense, oh and light metering capabilities - which this little bad boy seems to have.
I did start a project last year, but I borrowed a Bolex from a friend and it was pretty bad.. you couldn't adjust the light meter and it was so heavy, I had serious camera shake. So I wanted to invest a little more in something a little easier to handle. Doesn't mean the short I was trying to make is going to be any better, but it might just make things easier...
