	Hello netters, since we are on the subject of pictures and films,
I'd like to ask the advice of photograph enthusiasts on buying a new came-
ra.

	I'm looking for a nice professional style (adjust your own spped
and diaphram settings) camera with no auto focus or other complicated 
gadgets. I have pretty much decided to buy the Pentax P-30N. Today I visited 
Lechmere, Service Merchandise and Ann & Hope. Here's what I've found so far :

	Lechmere : $209 (body only)
	Service Merchandise : $168 body, $48 50mm Pentax Lens
	Ann & Hope : $239 body + 50 mm Pentax Lens + Pentax Flash (seen at
Service Merchandise for $35)

	Also I've looked at Popular Photography magazine for mail order places:

	AAA Camera Exchange lists Pentax P30-T body for $138.95 and body + 50mm
f2 lens for $179.95.

	Now; the best deal seems to be from the mail order place, but how re-
liable are these people ? (Thinking there located at 43 Seventh Avenue NYC
makes me worry) Has anybody bought stuff from these mail order places in NYC
and was swindled or maybe quite satisfied ? Are there good places to look 
around in Boston for as good or better deals ? 

	All help will be appreciated, thanks to all in advance.
