My recovered Voigtlander Vitoret D is a good candidate for this "(re)discovering under $50 film camera". I've got some cheap 12 shots films from the Schlecker store (0,99€ per roll) so it will be a really competitive option overall (1€ that camera from the eBay). Besides this the joy of using a recovered camera that was faulty and bought as "for parts". :). Thanks for this nice initiative! Kind Regards, Jes (from Spain). Hi!

I've got a few film cameras "laying around"...actually, I shoot digital for work, and film for fun. And try and shoot a little film too on a portrait shoot, even though the client could care less. As it so happens, I just bought a Yashica Mat TLR off ebay, and it's under $50 and is on the way. Sure I could have used an existing camera, but hey, gotta have a new toy for a contest! So perhaps I'll give it a whack. Thanks for the link. Well I’m a big film fan so this seems like a no-brainer to me.
