Bruce,

one camera to look for is Czech made FLEXARET (here's a picture:
http://www.fotozona.cz/TECHHELP/CAMERAS/flexaret.HTM , text is in Czech
only, though). It is a Rollei-like twin reflex and it is pretty good. I
used to have one back there... The latest was VI or VII. Some of them came
with a nifty 35mm film adapter for shooting 135 film. If you are into
"plastic" cameras, there used to be one called PIONYR (Pioneer) made from
some plastic called "bakelit" and shooting 120 film.

Also, MEOPTA enlargers are pretty good and probably cheap.

Take care and don't forget to have some CESKE PIVO (Czech beer).
