Jep but maybe my quota has been used up and I have yet to stumple upon some really interesting cameras. Something like 67II, Technika, 501CM, Makina 67 or maybe M4
Best regards

My friends suck.... none of them has ever given me a Nikon F3... (Got a Minolta X-700 from a RFF member though...)

No.1... A lovely M9 with a Summilux. Although, I'm still waiting for this outfit to be mine for under $100.

That's a heck of a camera at any price range, Paul. One of the all time classics.

I hear you on the Pentax SV.
I recently acquired a non functioning H3 and was impressed by it's aesthetic appeal. Very nice. Unfortunately I wasn't able to bring it back to life.
But mostly I was blown away by the auto-takumar 55/2 that
was attached to it. That is a seriously sweet little lens.

I largely agree, although I'd replace the Pentax with an Olympus XA. Nothing quite compares to it, and it's a bargain now.

Olympus 35SP (Love the other cameras in this line but images from the SP resonate a bit more)
Yashica Lynx 14 (because I'm always short on speed)
Retina IIIc (nice and compact)
Autocord ($50+$120 in service puts it just slightly over the edge depending on exchange rate)

Hi,
Keeping it within the budget suggests:
OM-2 or OM-2n which is overshadowed by the OM-1 etc or, cheaper still and giving manual and program modes the OM-10. They all take the superb Zuiko lens. With a bit of luck half the budget would cover it...
Minolta or Konica or Pentax P&S with a zoom lens (28 to 90 ish) as a pocket-able and not so serious camera but still capable of turning out gems.
FED 1 or 2 to use as a RF when needed and to pass as a more expensive one when necessary. (That seems to be an important issue.) And their standard 50mm lenses are more than OK.
Chose carefully and you could probably get a usable set of lenses for the SLR for very little cash. The 85/90 would be dearest but 28 or 35's are cheaper and many of us ignore 50mm standards.
And there it is; a line up of a serious SLR, a serious pocket P&S and a serious CRF, especially if the FED 2 is the chosen one.
Regards, David
PS I wanted a range of makers; the alternative would be a Pentax or Minolta SLR and 2 lenses (28 or 35 and 85 or 90), an Olympus XA2 or 3 and still a CRF if one of the fixed lens ones by (say) Canon or Ricoh was chosen.
PPS Stick to one make and Olympus could supply them all, too...

I would say the Canon AE-1 Program! I got it for just under 100 with lens, and it's been reliable since. Great for travel too.
I have a little review I wrote about the camera recently, which had more information about it! Take a look!
