Kid is taking a week long photography class and I didn't realize she has to have a 35mm camera, I was planning on allowing her to take my D80.

What 35mm do you-all recommend?

Is there a Nikon I can pick up that'll use the DSLR lenses so I can use the lenses on both?

I am sure you can find a cheap Nikon 35mm off ebay with the same mount as the D80. I am a Canon person myself and at they kept the EF mount from the film to digital cameras. The main reason I got the canon digital was I had a decent lens collection already.

did the teacher for this photography class recommend any cameras? Or did he/she say to just have a 35mm. Does it have to be fully manual? In any event, I'd check out craigslist for your city and see what's there.

Used F50 would be killer

Or you could buy her a new F6...

EDIT: i recall my sister took my old man's OM2 to photography classes, lucky thing!

Virtually every Nikon body will accept pretty much any Nikon lens; however, dslr (DX) lenses like the 18-55, 18-70, 12-24 will not work completely on a film body due to the smaller circle they project as they won't expose the entire frame at the widest end (a film lens must cover a larger frame size than a digital sensor. Digital/APS-C designed lenses project a smaller circle and would create a vignette if used on a film camera).

I would vote for getting her an N80; it's a great starter film camera that still packs some nice features. If you want to get her absolutely hooked, buy her a used F100 (there is no built-in flash with the F100, but a cheap sb-50dx works wonders when mounted to any of Nikon's film cameras). Check www.keh.com for used camera bodies. The $300 or so you'd spend on the F100 will be well worth it. Heck, you'd probably find yourself shooting a roll of film once in a while. Virtually every person that has used an F100 has nothing but positive things to say. Pair either camera up with a 50mm f/1.8 lens for $100 new and you'll provide a great start for your daughter.

What lenses do you have to share with her?
