[QUOTE="daveminnich, post: 621197, member: 43413"] I've decided I'd like buy a film camera to have some fun with. Certainly not replacing digital, but I'd like to have film available as a tool in the toolbox, so to speak. I've never shot film, so I have no idea what to look for/how to shop for a film camera. I do know these things though: 1. I want a Nikon so I can use the compatible Nikon lenses I already own. 2. I'd like autofocus. Doesn't need to have a built in motor (did film cameras even have those?), but I would like it to work with AF-S lenses. 3. Are film cameras with light meters a thing or does shooting film well require a separate light meter? I'm also wondering where to get film developed. Building a black room isn't going to happen, but I want quality images, not Wal-Mart etc. [/QUOTE]
