If you shop around, you can get an OM-2 film camera on the Internet for under a hundred bucks.

Nah, I gave up on 35mm a long time ago... I do miss Tri-X Pan and different chemistries, including stuff from Perfection Photographic Products, which allowed me to push Tri-X to 6400 and still get grain-free photos with terrific contrast. Great for shooting sports.

Though I had my OM-2, I also had a Nikon FM-2 (I used mostly Tamron Adaptall lenses) I used for sports photos, and it was amazing to be able to freeze the action at f-16 & 1/4000sec outside.
