View-Master cameras are great and very easy to use, you should be able to
find a nice user in the $150.00 range. The real cost is the cutter which goes
for $250.00 and up.

Processing is no problem since they use 35MM film. Just be sure to mark the
roll "DO NOT CUT".

Meopta also made 3 cameras in this format, they are great collectors items
but are not anywhere near the quality of the View-Master Personal, and I do
not suggest them as users.

Good Luck, let me know what you get.
