film questions

[Early]

Another Nikon/Canon war. I love it!

FE's and FE 2's have aperture priority and metered manual. The FA adds shutter priority and program. All take a 3fps motor drive. From what I've been seeing, though, you can get a N90s for the same price or less.

BTW, you can get into MF in a pretty nice way for about $200 or so.

thanks for all the recommendations in your prior post.

this may be a dumb question, but assuming i were to get a medium format body, would i be able to get the negatives developed at a drug store like i would a typical roll of film? i really have no clue how medium format stuff works

the price is pretty good in my opinion. i could get that and a 1.8 prime for under 300 which is nice

I'm not meaning to hijack this thread as the question is relevant for the OP too but...

Would you guys suggest absolutely getting a MF system before 35mm, or jumping in at the deep end (MF) if we like to shoot landscapes?

There are no absolutes. Take a look at both kinds and choose for yourself. MF isn't the "deep end" in any way that I can think of. Film and development is a little more expensive is the only thing and not nearly as many stores carry it - which kinda answers goodoneian's question too. Also - the drug-store is exactly who I use to develop for MF (tho I haven't used MF/LF in years and years). Long long ago most or all 1-hour photo shops needed to send out for MF development so they were same as drug-stores in that regard.

You can't go wrong with Canon or Nikon. Flip a coin..
