    Default Film SLRs
    Thinking of picking up a relatively expensive 35mm SLR to mess around with. Ideally Nikon so I can share the lenses with my DSLR.

    Anyone got any suggestions? How about the Nikon FE?

    Do you want expensive or inexpensive? As Scraff said, Nikon F90's are excellent for the money.

    inexpensive.

    Have the chance to get a Yashicamat 124G TLR for next to nowt (about £30), but the light meter is apparently a bit dodgy. Worth a punt?

    I picked up an EOS3 for next to nowt - it's a fabulous camera and has the advantage of being able to use my EF lenses.

    I've used it about twice
