The T.L.S. is extremely streamlined and would be a great camera to learn on.  The 1.4 maximum aperture is a nice bonus on a beginner camera, giving you that extra boost of light.

This camera used a PX625 1.35V battery.  Mercury batteries are no longer made.  You can use a Wein Cell PX625 Replacement, which is the closest to the original.  Alkaline and silver oxide versions are also available, with slightly different voltage and discharge.
