Looking for a 35mm Film Camera.

Hello everyone, I am currently taking a 35mm film and photo class. I just realized my sister jacked our 35mm camera and took it too Cali. Does anyone have a 35mm Camera they are looking to get rid of for a small price tag?
 
I'm not much of a film guy, any recommendations of a decent 35mm slr, that will go for ridiculously cheap?
 
Praktica MTL-3

East-German, made from solid Soviet Metal and has a metal curtain shutter which isn't as flimsy as the cloth Zenit shutters.

Retarded shutter placement do, but it works.

Just get whatevers available on your local CL. That's the beauty with film camera's: the bodies don't matter. And vintage glass rules. So any body with a 50mm lens will rock.
 
Body wise, then don't Q&A for adding the extra money in lenses, you won't regret itI have a overly basic but great 35mm Canon A-1 which in Europe is about 70euros.
 
Haha wait no you didn't! I'm shipping off the k1000 to a friend who will actually use it though and the mv's light meter doesn't work... if someone actually wants it though, they can pay shipping, theres a perfectly good 50mm f/2 on it
 
actually I am VERY against this assuming you have a smart phone. if you do, download a light meter app, and when you go out to shoot, take a few readings, in the sun, the shade, and deep shadows. Keep those in mind and go shoot, changing as you move in and out of light. After a while you will start to read the light with your eye and wont even need a meter for the most part.
 
what ever has the best rating, they all work the same for the most part, just a different UI. And with film having more flexibility in exposure, if you are a little off it's not the end of the world and the shot will still come out.
