Did my good deed for the day...

I met up with a friend for breakfast today before he drove home - he lives out of town, and was visiting family for Thanksgiving.

I've watched Alex's interest in photography blossom over the last few years, and his skills are very impressive. He's been shooting mostly DSLR with some film in an EOS body.

I gave him a Kiev 4AM. He has a real interest in the former Soviet Union, so he was a good choice to give it to.

I take no responsibility for what I may have started!

Hey, it's only an old camera, and a copy of a famous brand at that. What's the worst that could happen?

Trius,
I could hear the maniacal laughter all the way over here while you were typing that post!
Oh, wait, maybe that was me laughing while I read that post.

Ken,
I presume(since you call him a friend) that he won't have to worry about his screwdriver skills with that Kiev?
A nice thing to do, indeed!
Rob
