This was a great overview. Thanks so much!

Used film cameras in this era frequently benefit from cleaning, lubrication and adjustment (CLA). Locating a technician who can do that is getting more difficult but they are out there. In any event, if you are thinking about getting a film camera, you might want to factor that into the budget.

Hi, I have a question; what 50mm lens would you recommend for Nikon F6 (50mm 1.8G?)?I prefer sharpness rather then speed. Thanks

I know a YouTuber who developed her own film and it’s such a fun process although it is a whole other domain to master.

had I never used film before I think my head would be spinning. I can see how a newbie could get confused. Lots to figure out. You made some great points.
