And it’s small, easy to shoot streetphotos with (I hope, haven’t actually developed any of the rolls yet, hehe). At least in swedish Ebay they go real cheap, if sold at all.

I vote for the Minolta! But then, I’m partial to Minoltas myself. I’m actually interested in picking up one of those Hi-Matics too — I hear they’re pretty awesome.
