What Moose said. I bought a new one for my son with a 35-70 zoom on his
university graduation but he never progressed beyond point and shoot and
finally returned it to me after many years. I re-gifted it to a high
school student this past summer whose father had posted an ad on
FreeCycle saying he was looking for a manual camera for his son to be
used in a high school photography class. I was almost sorry I did. The
father never once said thanks and didn't respond at all when I offered
to teach the kid about using the OM-G before his photo class started.
