RE: [Leica] Entry-level rangefinder for a newbie?

[Patrick Jelliffe <pbjbike@yahoo.com>]

Ten--That's about the age I was when I started
frequenting pawn shops on Larimer Street.  First
purchase was an Argus C3 for $15.00. A elderly
neighbor gave me his 100mm Argus lens, and I was in
heaven.

Someone on this list, maybe Mr. Nitka, has a Canon IV
I think, with 50mm lens and trigger wind mechanism for
a real fair price.  Nice camera, and collectible,
meaning one can always get their money out of it
if/when they move up to the stratosphere.

Regards,

Patrick
