Best 35Mm Slr Film Camera For Beginners

Got this hood for my 49mm lens that I (still) use on my Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR film camera.� Fit & finish is great & works just fine.

Best and quick way to copy 35mm film.

Best quality I have been able to get out of 35mm film

Ilford is the only B&W 35mm film I use, great for beginners and seasoned photographers alike

Best 35mm film type out there these days. Slick grain.

I was about to send my last 35mm SLR to the boneyard when I found this at B&H. I mainly shoot digital now, but every once in a while, I get the urge to shoot some film...just because. I know, I know, there are plenty of ways to make digital images look like film, but there's something nicely tangible about putting a roll of film into an old Nikkormat, hearing the satisfying clunk of the shutter, and wondering if you really got the shot. I wish they had this stuff around back in the day when I learned how to develop film. It's about as bullet-proof and fast a way to develop black and white film as there could be. If you follow the simple directions, it's virtually impossible to get poor results unless the exposure was wrong to begin with. The results with TX 400 (my go-to B&W film) are great. Good contrast, and just enough grain to remind you that it's real film.

I will use this 1550 mainly to carry extra 35mm SLR equipment or Hassleblad film (lenses, spare body,film,filters,etc.)when traveling by car. I have an older large Pelican case that I use to carry a ton of equipment on road trips as long as over 11,000 miles to Alaska and back with 100% protection from shake,environment, or theft. In the 1550 I will carry equipment that is not needed in the bag of the day (small back-pack, waist or shoulder bag). This 1550 measures just at the current everchanging carry-on airline limit should I need it,and is just light enough to carry into a motel room overnight.

Works great in my Olympus OM 1 35mm SLR!

Best all around DSLR for your money for beginners. Did a lot of research before buying and this camera had what I needed for a great price. Used this camera at ball games and it took great action pics.

Takes pounds off of a medium format camera making it seem like a 35mm SLR. It moves with you -the camera doesn't jerk at your neck or shoulder. I use the Pro Strap with the pad over my left shoulder and the camera at the 3:30 position on my right waist. The strap can be worn for long periods without fatigue.
