Canada, eh.
I drove through several small Ontario towns today and stopped at some antique shops, flea markets, and junk shops just to see what they were offering as far as cameras went. This is what I saw (but did not buy):

black Canon Ftb with Canon breech mount 28 f2.8 lens for $35, the shopkeeper said he'd take $30. Only problem was a dent in the corner of the bottom plate, otherwise nice shape.

Nikon EM with 50f1.8 series E lens (second version), the camera's rewind knob lever was broken, for $14.

Penatax ME with Pentax 50f1.7 lens, great shape, $38.

Olympus RF camera like the RC, but with no manual exposure control, $29.

Canon AE-1 with Canon breech mount 50f3.5 macro lens, Canon breech mount 28f2.8, and Canon breech mount 2x converter, $129.

Medium Format Agfa camera, 2 f-stops: 6.3 and 11, and 4 shutter speeds (I think), with the cheesiest vinyl camera case, for $20.
 
I was really lucky this week, On impulse I hit a few thrift stores. I usually stay away because I wind up with too much stuff. I got.

Nikon One touch (AF3) $1
Nikon lite touch Zoom 110 s $1
Olympus Infinity Mini $2
Minolta Action Zoom (Riva Zoom Pico) $2
Canon Prima Mini II $1

Crazy. More money for film!

🙂

I hit several thrift stores this week and didn't find anything...I do know one place that has an EL-Nikkor 80mm 5.6 lens mounted on a Beseler board...if you go on the right day it's less than the tagged price...$75...it should be there for a while...I first saw it over a year ago...
