How much of a 35mm do you really need? I mean, will an older model be OK? You should be able to pick something like an Nikon FM/FE, or a Canon/Minolta/Olympus/etc equivalent up pretty cheaply. I think I picked up my old FM for like 50 bucks, although ebay makes it look like prices have gone up on those, since they're hitting "classic" status.
See if anybody you know has something you can borrow, or that they don't want, as well. A friend of mine gave me a Yashica rangefinder and three Pentax bodies, with a bunch of various lenses and accessories (strobes, cases, filters, a motor drive) when he moved out of the country and couldn't take them. A lot of people have older SLRs sitting around unused, though.
