My favorite is the Yashika Electro 35 GSN. I like it so much, I bought a second one. Not as small as many, but a GREAT lens, easy to use, great results.

Someone send this man a cheap P&S dig%#l camera!!! Let's get some photos. Joking of course, but not really. :D

Congratulations, Looks GREAT to me. I kinda like the imperfect edge.

I never had a Beetle, but three of my college roommates each had one. I had a Pinto. Both were great little cars (The fire danger of the Pinto has been debunked. They were no more dangerous than any other car in that weight class at the time). Could tell some funny stories about how light and...

One more bump.

Still looking folks.

Time for another bump. No one has one of these laying around that doesn't work anymore?

Just bumping this, still looking for the battery door.
