I know it's been mentioned already but whilst some suggestions are getting more and more exotic and expensive, Agfa Isolettes are still bloody common and cheap. I've got an Isolette II with an Apotar 85mm f/4.5 lens and Prontor SVS shutter (I think that's the middle model in terms of lens/shutter combo). The lens is I think single-coated. It does tend to flare near the light, but an Agfa lens hood (50 pence from the camera shop junk bin) helped with that. It's a bit heavier than I was expecting being all-metal, but's it's certainly compact. And it works perfectly for a total outlay of �22 - what's that? $30? HTH Chris
