Hi everybody,
Sorry if this kind of post is annoying, and please let me know if I should be posting this somewhere else.
I'm looking for an anniversary gift for my girlfriend, and she's been talking recently about wanting to get back into film photography. She used to be an avid photographer, mostly w/ a dslr, but she also did some film in high school and college (she studied art in college for a couple years). I know next to nothing about photography myself, unfortunately, so I've been reading articles and lists of the best affordable vintage film cameras, and I wanted to ask for some opinions if anyone would be kind enough to help me out.
What I think I want to do is get her two cameras: one pocket sized, a la the Olympic stylus epic II or a Nikon L35AF; and one slightly larger w more control and the option to swap lenses, etc. a la a Canon AE-1 or a Pentax K1000. Other considerations are: we travel a lot, so durability and size are both big factors; I wish I had the knowledge to rummage through thrift store bins, but I'd be afraid of buying her a broken camera and not realizing it.
As far as budget, I'd love to keep it under ~$200 for both cameras, and I'm open to spending the whole budget on one camera if that seems like the better move.
Thanks for reading and again, I hope this isn't too annoying :)
tl;dr: want suggestions for good cheap vintage film camera for GF
