Find a Film Camera for Under $50

By this time I was so excited that I bought the domain www.yashicaforum.com and wrote the review there! :) There are several large photos of the camera in the review, but I guess the first one is most representative:

Yashica J-7 and Yashinon-DX 50mm/1.7

Scans from Yashica J-7 on Tri-X images

I’ve tested the Yashica J-7 for one day in Stockholm. The camera came with Yashinon DX 50mm/1.7 (radioactive thorium-lens) so I choose that one, nice to try the kit. I used Kodak Tri-X film which had 400 ASA. These are some of my favorites from this one roll (observe that this is scaned from negative with a not to expensive scanner, result in papercopy will certainly be much sharper).

I will probably choose this camera for Epic Edits $50-dollar film camera project. That makes step 1 and 2 finished.
