I never was much of a shutterbug, but I'm seeing a need now. I'll trundle
off to do some research on cameras instead of cluttering up the list
further. Thanks everyone for the input.

keep it
"all in the family" so to speak, take pictures on a classic
camera (I love the Leica) and be even better.
I've got a nice medium format Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex 1a. It
takes absolutely beautiful pictures in bright sunlight. Too bad
rolls of 120 film are getting more difficult to locate, especially in
color. The last time I shot with it I could only locate B/W film
locally. My normal-use camera, a Canon A-1, falls well within the
10year rule for the list, though you'd be hard pressed to call it's
exposure system a general purpose computer. The Ikoflex was
manufactured in the mid-50's.
