Konica, Kodak, and Ilford all make disposable B&W cameras. I think Ilford was first with their HP5 camera. Ilford and Konica also put their film into generic disposable cameras for other companies. The Kodak's are loaded with Black n White 400, similar to TC400. I love Kodak's new marketing for the Digital Disposable Camera. People actually think it's a digital camera. How pissed they are when you tell them it's a disposable 35mm camera where the negatives can be scanned and placed on CD. Then all my Leica cameras must be digital! Even my FED's!
