Re: cheap 35mm camera

Any of the time-life series (and their various
offspring) plastic cameras are great to convert, and
some can be modified for a bulb setting - very time
consuming and rewarding for such a goofy camera that
makes great pictures. I just looked at mine, and it
is labeled as a "Nishiki Super II" This is a great
camera, because it has the thick metal plate in the
base which has a tripod socket. A quick trip to your
local Salvation Army should give you numerous
examples. The lens/shutter mechanism is easily
removed/replaced via 4 screws located behind the vinyl
on the camera face around the lens. Lots of fun...
