Film Camera Help Needed

Sunday, March 18, 2007 | 10:46AM

I must purchase a 35mm SLR film camera body that has manual controls and a working light meter for Phot 101 class.

Can anyone provide some suggestions?

can’t go wrong with the Pentax K1000. All manual, needle meter, nearly indestructible. I got mine for $50 with lens at a pawn shop and it’s been trusty for 10 years.

I shot with a Minolta SR-T 101 (I think that’s it) when I was an undergrad. It was easy and intuitive. However, I’ve always heard that the K1000 was *the* camera to get for your purposes, so I’ll second Jason’s nomination.

I bought a canon AE-1 from ebay for 30 bucks. They can take any kind of beating. I do have a 35 mm film canon rebel 2000 that my friend used last year for his classes and it worked fine. I’d be willing to part with it for a small fee.
