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.
