To mirror some comments about a range finder, I think this may also be a
good route for a beginner. There is a nice discipline in framing up with a
range finder. It feels more "real" than using an SLR. Not to say one is
better than the other, but I firmly believe think that using a rangefinder

Another tangential remark: Riding with hands at your hips is the standard
position with the Raleigh DL-1 and clones and omafietses. I still don't
understand it.

Everything online about this camera says it uses 116 film, not 120. They

120 mm film, and the OP says he used it, albeit long ago, to dip his feet

I agree, that's a good article. Will mostly parrot the others here. Started
with a Pentax K1000 and ended up with a Nikon FM before going down the

FWIW, my suggestion would be look for a Nikon FM10 with a 50mm 1.8 series E

Your Billie Bar review is helpful and all points make good sense to me. I
think I will appreciate the width and multiple hand positions as I do tend

Well, I haven't been through the number of bicycles like I have musical
instruments, so there is not as much regret here. Possibly the one I think
