Couldn’t you just buy them all a Leica M11 and a selection of lenses? Something a bit more practical could probably be done in software. My phone and my bike GPS both have a ‘Guest’ mode whereby you can limit the functionality when you lend the device to someone. On the GPS it’s for people who run self-guided cycle tours - you put in the routes and that’s all the client can use except for emergency contact.
It would probably not take much to program a manual-only mode into a DSLR. For the new Pentax they wouldn’t go far wrong if they just revived something like the P30/P3 and 2-3 PKA lenses. > On 24 Mar 2023, at 13:08, Mark Roberts <postmas...@robertstech.com> wrote: > > I'd really prefer it if they (or someone else) made an all-manual DSLR > for photography students.
