My little digital camera broke today. Permanent breakage, this aint getting fixed.
And that was my crutch from getting a real camera.
And I don't know if I'm ready to switch to some big expensive DSLR.
Not at leasts until (if) I get some sort of job.

So I'm going to get a single lens SLR camera.

I'm used to having Ricoh Supers. I'm thinking about getting a Pentax with a k-mount (because I have an extra Ricoh body that might take the lens and some lenses that are broken and I might be able to use as parts)

But I'm willing to get something completely different. Any suggestions?
I want to have an interesting experience with this new mystery camera.
My biggest hopes are to be able to work with a manual focus lens and to be able to take it everywhere.
I also like interesting lenses that vignette the edges a bit and I really enjoyed the Ricoh 50mm zoom lens's slight distortion.
I also need something on the cheap side since I am anticipating having no money in the very very near future.


In other news: I have a pic line in my arm and it is bleeding nonstop. I just came home from the doctors where they changed my bandage and the blood is already seeping through.
