My daughter is in a photography class and needs a 35mm SLR film camera with a lens.
Doesn't need to be fancy, just needs to work and be in decent condition.
I can buy or trade. I do have some turning blanks or possibly something else.

Make sure the camera fits her hands
When I started Nikons were too small but Canon fit well and I've been using them ever since.
I unloaded my film cameras several years ago but still haven't found someone to adopt my darkroom

Also, to add: Don't want to spend more than $50 plus shipping.

I did. They want insane prices.
I can get one on eBay, but I thought I'd try here first.

Just curious, when did you start? Nikon F's
were the camera to have when I started. That's if you believed the hype. But they were better than the offerings from Minolta and Canon at the time.
SLR film camera for smalls hands? I don't see how you can beat Olympus OM-1 or 2

Antique stores have all sorts of them. I collect cameras and am amazed at all the 35's in those stores now. Prices not too bad in most stores.

Had an OM-1
Outstanding camera. They still fetch a decent price with a lens. Again, a great camera. Easy to use and very versatile.
