Went to the Fall camera show at the Soccer Centre in Northwest Toronto yesterday. A sucker for "bargains", I picked up the following:

Minox EL, $10. Took it home and put in four button cells. Makes the right noises and the shutter sort of twitches but the blades don't open. :<

Yashica Electro 35 MC, $5. A very small zone focus aperture priority camera with a 2.8 / 40mm Yashinon.  Little brother to the big Electro 35. Minty. Works.

Canon Sure Shot ES Date, with a mostly exposed film and a live CR123 battery. $2. An early '90s AF P&S, with a retracting f/3.5 38mm lens.

Iloca Quick B, $3. Early '50s, a cute VF camera with an Ilitar Anastigmar 3.5/45mm. Clean, works.

Kyocera T-scope, $20. Also known, I think, as the Yashica T3, it has a 2.8/35mm Zeiss Tessar "T" lens and a waist level "scope". (The 3.5/35 is supposedly sharper). Came with a live 2CR5 lithium battery. Works.
