I'd vote for a Mamiya 7II or Pentax 67 (but only because it is cheaper).

Yeah, I was thinking something like an old Asahi Pentax and a 55mm lens.Jack:
How about an old Pentax such as a K1000 or splurge and get her a LX. The lenses for Pentax are dirt cheap.

KEH has some, including an LX. It's fun shopping with Jack's money.Yeah, I was thinking something like an old Asahi Pentax and a 55mm lens.

I'm taking her to Keeble tomorrow to see if we can find something that fits for her. I admit to a secret hope she likes the feel of a Hassy V or Pentax 67 My guess is she is going to like the Oly OM'sJack,
Just ask her what she might want to shoot.
You know that what makes a camera "just right" is a very personal thing.
Take her to K&S and fish around the used counter. Ask her to handle a few different bodies.
You never know what she might go for.
Imagine someone trying to pick out a camera something for you :shocked:

Not a Pentax 67. Not one of these....it will break her heart....trust me on this one. Don't let her go for the P67.I admit to a secret hope she likes the feel of a.....Pentax 67
If that's so (and I don't doubt it), I came to my F3 right of passage late in life. Just picked up an F3HP with motor drive, and 28/50/105 lenses within the past couple years. It is an excellent camera/combo and without the motor drive, not too heavy to lug around....consider a Nikon F3/FM with a 28/50/105 combo - aren't these also a required right of passage? -
Maybe Guy can get her a deal on an old Honeywell PentaxYeah, I was thinking something like an old Asahi Pentax and a 55mm lens.
