[QUOTE="Greywoulf, post: 3021, member: 636"] Why not buy an older Nikon 35mm film SLR, like maybe the Nikon F100? Any older Nikon SLR film camera with an F mount would mean that you could then interchange lenses with your D40. But be aware that only Nikon lenses designated AF-S and AF-I will autofocus on your D40; the others will work, but you'll have to manually focus... And with the really old lenses you'll have to manually meter with them also.... Also digital DSLRs are so good now your statement about film cameras having better quality no longer holds as true (if at all?), as it did maybe five or six years ago... Almost every pro now, whether journalist, sports shooter, wedding photographer, or even the large frame portrait artists, are into digital..! Except for one-time throwaway drugstore cameras, and for people who like to experiment with old-timey stuff, film is about as dead as a doorknob now. You can find older film cameras at KEH or Adorama or eBay on the web, for cheap... [/QUOTE]
