which cheap film camera for fun?
Discussion
Hi all,
I've just been looking back through some old pics that were taken with a film slr and scanned. it was a minolta dynax that i sold a while back (wish i didn't now)
I'd like to get a film camera just for fun and snaps so i'd like something cheap preferable with autofocus and metering.
can anyone recommend anything.
alternatively, if i go for a fully manual older camera am I going to be struggling with focus and metering whilst out and about?
Thanks for the help

I was looking at a rangefinder type camera for ease of use and small size
i've got an old polaroid land camera that I gave to guests to use at our wedding and it produced some great shots, But film is expensive and it's a bit big and cumbersome to lug around for retro snaps.
it had a rangefinder type focussing device so focussing shouldn't be an issue. I'll just set it to manual exposure. job done

If you want one with AF and you have a DSLR go for one that you can share lenses with, I've got an EOS 5 that I've taken some good images with.
Where abouts in the Midlands are you? I got given an old film SLR a few years back and it has just sat in my office, would be willing to give it to someone who would use it more.
