[QUOTE="Samo, post: 621304, member: 42955"] Go cheap and get a FE or FE2. More dough get a FM3A which is the best last film camera (beside the F6) ever made. F4 or F5 cannot remember which is better than the other and fairly priced. F3 was where first AF happened but not so advanced or compatible with later stuff. Meter to zero just like your digi. Best bet probably would be F100. It check marks everything on your list. $200. Great camera. Film is not cheap 5-10 bucks a roll. Process and scan to cd only no prints no adjustments is what you tell them. Around 15 bucks for that. Do not use drugstore lab or WalMart. Find local store or mail to such a place. I shoot Porta, Ektar, or TriX when I shoot film today. Porta for skin, Ektar for vivid day color pop, Tx for b&w self processing (take a class you'll fall in love) I can shoot 20 on film 20 on digi print them all at 4X6 and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.
