fellow pug-sters- i'm thinking of getting some really cheap cameras for my twin nephews (12 years old, combative, obnoxious-they really remind me of myself at that tender age)
they know that i take plenty of pix and have expressed some interest (when they're not being combative, obnoxious....u get the idea) being a pentax fan was wondering if u good folks could fill me in on the ills and virtues of the mamiya/sekor line of cameras? it seems that they are screw mounts but what of their meters, shutters and general reliability? since i ask only to use such info to distract my nephews from their true nature, would any of u see fit to suggest which of the mamiya models is "better" (less bad?) than other models? frankly, i'm trying to keep my purchase in the $25-$35 range. if i spent more, i would only be disappointed when i see my nephews using their "new" camera as a football or hockey puck, or weapon of foolary that could only appeal to a pair of combative, obnoxious, twin, 12 year old boys. that all said, i am really quite fond of them and would love to turn their energy to the "light" as can be found in taking pix. i welcome any and all thoughts. be well robo - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
