Think about who you were even like 5 years ago, and imagine if all those things you thought were cool then were permanently on your body.
/end party pooping.
The idea of tattoos and piercings isn't that they could be easily brushed under the mat when time goes by. They are supposed to represent You by reminding YOu where YOu come from. Yeah, even in the daddy age. That's the whole point in it. Ask any biker or tattoo artist.
Besides: You probably didn't mean it that way but SOME of us are NOT born yesterday. And the amount of tattoos, piercings and body mods are not necessarily getting any fewer. Ask anybody in my bands. You don't think rock 'n roll subcultures is a passing stage of the Youth, do You? No You don't. That's what I thought, too. Please.
My parents were convinced in the 80's that my heavy metal enthusiasm was just a phase and that the horrible noise would cease to exist all together in a few years like all trends, becoming a future laughing stock like the clothing and music of the 70's.
Now look what has happened to the 70's clothing. And music. And the heavy metal, and the rest of the 80's music. And the tattoos and piercing etc. Yeah.
I agree with all that.
Also, tiny little butthole earlobes. I think both points are important.

FWIW - The TLR design hasn't changed much since it works very well to begin with...a definite example of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', and they're still cheap'ish given the format, etc.
Why do you need a med. format to begin with? Used pro-level 35mm SLRs are around for dirt cheap - Nikon F2AS body for $120 or so, 50mm f/1.4 lens for $85, etc...I picked up a Nikon FM w/50mm f/1.2 and 28mm f/2.8 for $220 out the door a couple of years ago.

Unless you really NEED the flexibility of the much-pricier Mamiya, etc SLRs, I'd suggest getting either a Mamiya or Rollei TLR...bulletproof and easy to find.

Makes total sense, if you are going to go through with that I guess a picture is in order... mind you that doesn't mean "oh please post picts..." I'll leave that request for others who are into that sort'a thang...

Why don't you ask the professor what they'd recommend?
I think the Yashika TLR is the k1000 of medium format.
I don't want to wait 3-4 weeks to start looking for a camera when classes start as if i go with ebay it's like 2-4 weeks to get something from overseas.
You can't email them? I already started bugging a professor who's class I'm not even in yet about next semester...

This. Not that it's medium format, but expired polaroid film was going for around 50 a pack last I looked.
