CS Dept. Lines: 19 Keywords: cameras, big five Summary: Why ricoh? And my recommendation. I'm curious about something. You've got one camera from each of the big five, plus a Ricoh. How did Ricoh get in there. My recommendation is the Canon A-1 or T-70. I have an A-1 and am very happy. There are situations when more versatile metering systems and program modes, such as the ones on the T-70 and other very recent introductions are handy. I think the A-1 has some features the T-70 doesn't have, like shutter stop-down for depth of field preview. You'll probably be happy with any of the cameras you mention. Be sure to try them all out for weight and handling. Olden Camera in New York is OK, as far as I know. If you can buy the camera locally for an extra $20 I think it's worth it, just to avoid the hassles. Wally Dietrich Cornell U. C.S. Dept.
