Hi Ray! Welcome!
I hate say it, but I would start with Zenit E. I keep saying it over and over again in this forum, but out of all my 200-something Russian cameras I get consistently good results with this camera. Try to get an Olympic KMZ version if you can, it's be worth more in the long run. They're are all very cheap - we're talking 20-30 for a nice one on eBay.. Make sure you get one with working light meter though.

You gotta be kidding me, guys! I was trying to find a KMZ Zenit E in the catalog to paste the link in here for Ray, but we don't have neither KMZ Zenit E not the olympic version! Jeez! I'll add all these ASAP! |

Dang, that would have been my next addition. Forgot to take the picture yesterday, as the one in my website is with Industar and together with a TTL. Which is also a cheap and usable camera, but the other 12-something have better meter readout and aren't hard to find either. And still look much like E.
