Thanks, all; I am entirely camera-ignorant, since I gave up photography about age 11 1/2 after starting to experiment with my mother's Brownie at about age 11 1/4. (You can verify this by the quality of my photos onlist.)
The Olympus OM-1, Canon AE-1, and Pentax K1000 seem to be favorites. All these have built-in light meters, no? And they seem to come up on Amazon for =/< $200. Upshot: I can't go wrong with any of these 3? Many thanks again.
