Yes
I am doing a photography course in my local uni and they have a dark room etc, part of the course is working with film so I am on the hunt for a film camera

As I have a canon dslr I have been looking at a canon slr, I have seen a eos 500 with lens for like £25 is this ok (seems very cheap to me)
Or does anyone have any suggestions for a good film camera!

Cheers
 
35mm film bodies are relatively cheap compared to what they cost in their day.
I inherited a canon body and zoom lens that cost £200 when new and as i am a Nikon guy i give it to the bloke over the road for him to play with.
Wont let go of my Nikons though!
 
Hello
We all have our favourites, best to filter out likes/dislikes etc...for me I have cameras from manual only to manual plus selection for semi auto or program. The EOS500 (if with a Canon lens) seems cheap but I'm not using AF lenses on any on my cameras, and you might find it a bit crappy compared to your DSLR.
 
Loads to chose from. For me only 3 things matter. The film, the quality of the lens and whether the shutter works.
That said, I'm still gear hungry.....won't go for auto anything though. Much prefer manual focus too.
I want the whole experience to be different to digital. Much more fun when I take my time instead of blazing away and delete delete delete....you get the idea.
