locally anymore. I even had trouble finding something as simple as a
I don't know where you are, but 35mm film is still very easy t ofind. !20
is a bit harder, 5*4 sheet film is harder still (but by no means
impossible), antything esle is 'fun' (and may involve slicing down film
and repsooling it in a darkroom).
the newest a Canon EOS 300 (Rebel 2000 to anyone here
in the US). The
advantage to the newest one is it uses the EF lenses which are still
produced today.
One advantaeg of the Nikon system is that the Nikon F lens mount is
essntially unchanged since 1959. YEs, extra features were added. so if
you mount an old lens on a new body you are not going to et autofocus 9or
even automatic exposure ocntrol in some cases), but it wil lfit nad work.
Similarly I could (if I could afford it) by a new lens that work work on
my F or F2 bodies.
