Else an old film SLR.... john -----Original Message----- LUG: My granddaughter is 15 and into all things artistic. She is taking photography in high school and is very interested, following me around asking lots of good questions. I'd like to get her a good camera for Christmas that she can use to learn. She's very interested in f stops and focal lengths and the differences they make. One choice would be to give her one of my old M8's but the disadvantage to that is that she will not be able to afford extra lenses for it. I have an old Elmar 65/3.5 that I would include but I don't have a lot of surplus lenses. Is there another digital camera out there that would be good for learning apertures, speeds, focal lengths? Most of them are so automatic you don't ever have to know what those are but she wants to know!
