I need to buy a 35mm camera for an evening class I want to do in autumn, and my four Holgas just don't have the settings to put into practice what i will learn. Don't want to spend a fortune, seen some really cheap ones on Amazon but what to buy????? I would really appreciate your help, I am a Nikon girl when it comes to digital but are their film cameras also good? Cheers x Hugo Drax PM Sent.

If you make over £18,000 you get £100. after June you get f'all HollowHorn What if you make under £18,000?

The program will be out in August, I think it may be between 300 and 400 pounds though, judging by their summer classes. And today I was told about this great wee place: http://www.streetlevelphotoworks.org/courses/courses.html Not sure what courses they will do in near future but I am most certainly up for the next few.... also - how cool, you can use their darkroom for a small fee   HollowHorn poodiecat wrote: also - how cool, you can use their darkroom for a small fee   Aye, I'm always up for a bit of social intercourse, but let's concentrate on the photography course for noo.   poodiecat Ok. I'll keep you updated, then.

For a 35mm SLR look at ebay and you'll find something good for very little money. The Minolta stuff is particularly good (both manual focus and AF, with many of the lenses being Leica designs) poodiecat HollowHorn wrote: poodiecat wrote: also - how cool, you can use their darkroom for a small fee   Aye, I'm always up for a bit of social intercourse, but let's concentrate on the photography course for noo.   Hi HH, I called Streetlevel today and as they are soon going to move back to their old premises round the corner, they are not having too many weekend courses on, however there will be a B&W class including film development in July. I'll e-mail you the details as soon as I have them. monument poodiecat wrote: HollowHorn wrote: poodiecat wrote: also - how cool, you can use their darkroom for a small fee   Aye, I'm always up for a bit of social intercourse, but let's concentrate on the photography course for noo.   Hi HH, I called Streetlevel today and as they are soon going to move back to their old premises round the corner, they are not having too many weekend courses on, however there will be a B&W class including film development in July.

Unfortunately they haven't got a scanner there, and getting stuff scanned is really really extortionate - paid two pounds per negative photo at snappy's the other day. It's cheaper to have it done at the same time as the snappy development unfortunately.   Hugo Drax poodiecat wrote: Once I know how to do this kind of stuff, of course!
