Auto Mechanic Schools In Michigan

So you've already studied the great digital versus film debate, and have decided on film. It's now a matter of choosing a camera. Most of the film cameras on the market are secondhand, but a few models (Nikon FM2, Nikon FM10, Nikon F6, Leica M6, Leica M7) are still available new.

Types of Film Cameras

People choose film for different reasons. Knowing your reasons will help decide the right camera:

  • Learning photography: 35mm mechanical SLR
  • Creative art: Holga
  • Long exposure astronomy: 35mm SLR
  • High resolution (for large print blow-ups): 4 x 5 inch or 8 x 10 inch large format
  • Classic style: 35mm rangefinder

35mm SLRs

The image quality of an analog photo depends on the lens and the film, not so much on the camera itself. This means that the various camera models differ mainly in the degree of automation, and lens quality.
