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.

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.

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:

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

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

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