[Leica] Pocket Cameras (was: Minox 35)

[max_weisenfeld at verizon.net (Max Weisenfeld)]

So, what is/was YOUR favorite "pocket camera?"

As this question has a purpose other than just trolling for posts, here are 
some guidelines:

Must use a widely available film format,
Must have manual controls (may have auto, too, but I want aperture control),
Sturdy,
Currently available for less than $200,
Coat pocket size OK, cargo pocket size better

I'll keep a tally of the votes.
