It would be fun for your 13 year old to use some of your lenses as he moves up and learns, so the K-500 with the 50mm f1.8 Lens would be the best buy. You could borrow his camera in emergencies. I have seen great deals on the K-500. As an 8-year old my Father gave me a British made Ensign Ful Vue Flex TLR camera - cast magnesium - built in yellow filter + 3-Apertures and 2-speeds with B & T. At 13 he gave me a Yashica TLR, a full fledged camera with a Kako Japanese Flash Gun. In college he gave me a Pentax Spotmatic and allowed me to use his Leica gear. We had a full Leica Lab with an Enlarger at home and enjoyed developing + printing our own photos. Trust a 13 year old as a big boy - what joy for a teen. He will love it and love you for this great gift as I did my Father. Regards. Nanhi camp: Thornhill, Ontario.
