Two weeks ago I was together with my youngest daughter (11) at an Old Timer Rally here in Brussels. She borrowed my M6 + 35/2 and made two films. 98% of her pictures were well exposed, sharp and correctly centered. It was her first real try of it and she enjoyed it a lot. She use a very decent P&S since 5 years, but never had such good results with it (and such a good time). Next time, I will lend her a F5 + 35-70/2,8 + SB26 (for fill in)... ;-) And maybe a can of spinach. More seriously, what she really enjoyed, was to understand what she was doing, how and why. And to see that it was much more rewarding... I hope the future Voigtlander/Cosina rangefinder will be really affordable. Lucien
