They tend op cost more on ebay so a trip around the shops may be a good idea.
My Ensign Selfix 20, although not as easy to use, is also a common camera which can give good results. Again mine came from a charity shop for the princely sum of £10.

I know they're not Pentax, but they are fun and cost next to nothing.

Why the 18-55 lens?

Too many people are called heroes just for doing their jobs now a days, when somebody does this he/she is deservedly given the title.

so I can get correct exposures and not waste too much film.
The tester sits behind the lens and measures, using a free programme, the length of time the shutter is open.
With that information I can then adjust the aperture to suit.
Only time, and a film will tell how useful the information will be.

I still use my K110 as a street camera, with much the same results, although I prefer a 100m on the front.

I've just built and used a shutter speed tester. I wanted to know how bad the shutters were on some of my old folders, a quick google gave me this, and it works!
Now I can test my M series bodies as well..

You've created a stunningly simple piece of, as Kris says, 'graphic art'.
I like it, but a step too far?
Maybe.

I do with some success.
Another option is to use a light box and take a digital photo of the neg, bit long winded but it does work.
