I first read about these cameras in MoMa's catalog. I was interested and I puchased three cameras along with Michelle Bates' book. As someone who is "camera challenged," I found this book incredibly helpful and inspirational. I would follow her advice to a "T" (especially about keeping the lens cap off as I unfortunately found out the hard way). I'm working my way through the book at my leisure toward the more advanced techniques. Highly recommended. If I can do it, you can do it!
