Hi all,

Today at a flea market, I got a 35mm point & shoot grey plastic camera for 30 €. It's a Yashica/Kyocera and has nothing appealing for most people not in the know because its lens is a Carl Zeiss T* Tessar 3,5/35mm : the Yashica T5 !

You were extremely lucky, the Yashica T5 tends to be quite a bit more expensive on ebay - current going rate for good ones is 80-100 €. The T4, which is almost equivalent but less of a design nerd item, goes for half that, and the butt ugly and somewhat more bulky T3, which has the best lens in the bunch (2.8 Tessar), goes for about 20€ - better looks obviously are more desirable than better optics.

Olympus XA has Av mode and the exposure can even be adjusted by setting the ASA value. And there are others too... somebody continue the listing Smile.
