My son has expressed an interest in photography
but I am reluctant to let him borrow my good gear.
If you let him use anything except an LX (with the waist-level
finder) and the 50mm/f1.2 he'll be ruined as a photographer.
Sell all your own gear, if necessary, to do right by your son.

Then don't, buy him some good gear.
I have found with my children, if I buy them something of quality they
will use it, if they get something

Good idea except get a different lens. You can pick up a better K-mount

I agree. May I suggest a Pentax (M, A) 50mm f2. You can get it for a song, it
is a decent 50mm lens, and a prime is IMO a better start

My son has expressed an interest in photography but I am reluctant to let
him borrow my good gear. For much less than the cost of a Pentax lens, I can
buy a Ricoh KR-5 Super II with a Rikenon 35-70 lens for him from
