These are the donors, none so dear I’d worry too much but was leaning towards the Nettar because it’s pretty simple and actually has good IQ. You’ll want a phone light meter though.
Ikonta, Nettar & Bessa. Don’t ask me which version, I forgot a could years ago. They’ve all been film tested and work fine though the Ikonta has some fungus in it.
Next question would be which expired film (refrigerated). Neopan, Pro160S, Reala 100, Tri-X 400 or something fresh?
I’ll start another thread but wanted to give folks here first crack!

Ah ok, so none can use 220 film as they have the red window in the back.
There's a dood in the B&S selling expired film for $100/roll. I'd ask him to see if he has anything in 120 that he could sell us.

If the Nettar is the easiest to use, go with that. Are there markings on the lens for the at f8 everything from a certain distance to infinity will be in focus? As for film, Tri-X.

Good point and correct on 220. It’s been a bit since I shot a lot of 120 so if I say anything crazy…
Also, $100/roll? I’m out.
.
I don’t mind donating a Neopan roll. It’s the good stuff from 2019.

I'd also lean toward the Nettar because you say it's easier to use. I don't have a preference on film other than B&W might be a safer bet.

Either the TriX or the Tmax - whichever is more recent.

It’s loaded with HP5+.
It’s a fun little camera to use. And it’s only one frame.

The build up to my turn with the camera was high and then there was the “click” and I felt like, that’s it? But I’m very curious to see our results! Lol

Might I suggest shooting Texas greybonnets?
