In college, my freshman-year roomate had a Leicaflex Standard with
35-50-90mm lenses on loan from his father; the security guard at the Tech
building loaned me his prized LTM beauty; I bought trinovids when I was 25,
and traded N**** for Leicaflex SL at 27.

My 11-yr-old daughter has a great time using a match-needle Nikkormat with
micro-Nikkor but she has her eye on an R-body and 60mm macro. 
Discriminating taste isn't limited to old farts with $$.  BTW, I don't have
the $$.
