Rita,

Rita, Rita, Rita...

Never buy a donkey - they are the worst cameras! For some reason, the  
donkey manufacturer put a weird mount on them so that they don't  
accept standard lenses (unless they are specially made like what "Mr.  
Ed" would wear from time to time). Also, even more weirdly, they don't  
accept a standard film format...

And for that matter, I'm not even sure where the dang film loads! And  
also, where's the viewfinder?!?!

The final straw for me though, is when you need to take a picture with  
one - you go out with some hay, call him and the dang donkey will run  
off every time... So, for all the headache of trying to use a donkey  
as a camera - I've not been able to catch one for doing photography to  
date, so I can't even try to explain how one works.

I highly recommend *against* using a donkey as a camera. Stick with  
the Kiev or Mamiya.

hahahaha
