[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 331606, member: 15356"] I suppose learning film first could possibly instill some patience into the students, and it might be great as a basis to see where some of the terms and reasoning comes from. But on a practical side, I started off using my DSLR on manual and I think it offers plenty of what is needed without increased cost, especially when it's obvious that this is the direction photography is going. Not film. I'm sorry I can't advise you on what Nikon SLR film model would be best for a student. But as a DSLR shooter if I were going to buy a film SLR that still might get some use, I'd likely buy one of the F4 models. Though I'm not sure it would quality for a student in a film photography class. They may list certain things needed to qualify in the initial papers handed out for the class, or course requirements sheet or something like that. Please let us know what Nikon SLR you end up getting! :D [/QUOTE]
