Cheap plastic cameras seem like the appropriate stocking stuffers for apug members to give and receive. Looking around, there appears to be more options then I thought, beyond the Holga's and Lubitel's. There are even upgrades available and accessories. Which model would you suggest?

My Christmas stocking is a little over-sized - just right for an M7 if there are any generous Santas out there.

Before it got LOMOIZED I picked up a cool little Smena Symbol zone focus 35mm complete with Blik clip on range finder for $15.00. I got the camera for the auxiliary range finder as many of my older cameras have no means of determining distance. It a gas to shoot.
Stay away from the 8M. Its really bad.

I need bigger stockings. What I really, really want is an old German 24x30cm plate camera. And the stockings I have will barely take one of the cute little 6x4.5cm ones...

A Pentax 110 would also be interesting.
