Well, in the UK, I can get Voigtlaender Bessa L (the one without rangefinder -
actually the light-tight box with a shutter and a screw thread) plus the 15mm lens for
450ukp. I don't think at these focal lengths I'd really benefit from an SLR. I
mainly shoot "from the hip" with the SMC A 24/2.8 (actually, from the knees!) and I
imagine it would be similar with a 15mm. I can pop a level into the accessory shoe
and keep the viewfinder in my pocket.
But I'm torn - I love my Pentax cameras dearly!
Yours sincerely,
Frank.
