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).
Try that in Brazil...Will I die without shooting and developing a 120
roll? :o(
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.
So you say I can get a very old nikon, and a brand new one and exchange
lenses (obviously without autofocus, et al)??? :oO VERY nice to know that
:o)
I use a Lumix FZ35, a very capable superzoom camera. I even got first
place in a local photo concourse...
