Small, light, inexpensive, but capable camera

[FrankS]

This one is mine, I'm sure you have one too.

$50 for body and lens

Bought chemistry today too.

I've got a couple, one black and one silver. Great little cameras for the money, so compact.

That lens is pretty good. I've shoot with it some on my FM.

Does my Franka Solida 2 count? It will fit in the back of my jean pocket and I paid $69 for it. While it has a triplet from Ena Werk, I find that this particular samples is as good as some of the Tessar sample I have had from folders in this era.

Please excuse iPhone picture.

Somebody gave me a Maxxum 5 body. It is a hateful little flimsy thing, but works great and is weightless. Light, worthless ($15 or less), and very capable, so the perfect bicycle camera to me.

Retina IIIc.

I just can't get rid of that thing. It is compact, portable, and high quality. The most ergonomic---it is not.

$50 with shipping from KEH

TX, I'd say these cameras are quite comparable.

Mine in SLR would be my Fujica ST 901.

In RF, either my XA, or one of these beauties:

i got my nearly mint k1000 and 50mm f2 lens for under $40

also got my oly 35 rc for $50 plus $10 shipping or $60 whichever way you want to look at it

 

[nikon_sam]

Cheap because it was given to me...I found the lens at a thrift store...I made the strap...

Mine in SLR would be my Fujica ST 901.

How are you liking the Fujinon?

Most of my SLR cameras are big and heavy. But for when I don't want to lug a metal brick around, this one rarely lets me down.

But small, light, inexpensive and capable, it's hard to beat this one that I found at a thrift shop for $1.75

but I think that this one will grow on me

rollei 35S

I love this camera, small - yes, capable - yes, light - okay, but inexpensive ($50) it is not.

 

[bitfeng]

My cheapest Rollei 35S costed me $32 - alright since not every one can get an Rollei 35S at that price, I would recommend either Olympus 35RC or Voigtlander Vito II (not IIa).

I love this camera, small - yes, capable - yes, light - okay, but inexpensive ($50) it is not.

I once bought a Rollei 35B at a garage sale for $5, but its not the same camera as the 35S or T.
