| What type of film camera should I consider buying? | | Published by: admin 2009-01-07 |
| I would like a standard film camera. One that I can do the basics with, f/stop, shutter, etc.
I want a basic camera like the Nikon F10, or the Vivitar V3800N.
For now, I'm focusing on the prices. I don't want a pricey camera, but below $200 (the camera alone, or with accessories). Are there other good quality standard film cameras?
there are many brands that are excellent cameras. Among them are:
Nikon
Canon
Olympus
Yashica
Pentax
Minolta
and about 25 others. Look on www.keh.com so see the 35mm SLR brands and pick one of their's. they ahve a guarantee. What you get off of craigslist or Ebay might be more trouble than they are worth.
I am not trying to dissuade you. I personally own a 35mm Canon Rebel. And I love it. But processing gets very expensive very fast. I am buying a digital soon because I refuse to be robbed every time I need to have film processed. They charge twice as much for a picture cd from film than from digital prints. So it costs me about $20 to shoot a roll of film. About $5 for the film, $10 for processing, and $5 for a picture cd if I order it. I don't know if you have considered this, but it is something to think about. When I get my digital, I will only use my 35mm for B&W film and only for special occasions. If this is not a problem for you, or you can do your own processing, then happily go with film. Otherwise, you might want to think twice. Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ::

Look for a good Nikon or Canon 35 mm with standard zoom lens for under $150 on craigslist in a city near you.
Sample near me:

Pentax K1000 or MX
You would be hard pressed to beat a N90s with a 50mm F/1.8 lens.
No, go digital:)
The Pentax K1000 has been a standard student camera for decades. It's built like a tank, and will allow you to understand the basics very easily.
