Recommendation for a decent film SLR for a new SLR user

I wouldn't worry about exposure for snaps, go here and read.. Ultimate Exposure Computer

Good choices there. Don't go medium format, whatever you do! I have a few medium format cameras, they're good fun, but cost a fortune to 'run' in film and developing costs. The advantages are nill, as I rarely develop photos past A4 size.

True enough if it's your only camera and you only print small but if you're looking to step up to hanging something on a wall..

A 645 MFis a good compromise between size, handling, quality and frames per roll.....

I think it is a viable option..


There's been whole galleries of "hung" sizes made from 35mm......

I've more or less ruled out MF because of non-availability of film and development where I live, let alone costs.

35mm seems to be still popular and might be around for a while.
