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.
