Film cameras?

[canonnoob]

Hey Guys Im looking to pick up another film camera. I havent done this in a long time and I dont really know what to consider...

Here is something I must use... I want to make sure it will work with EF mounts.

Anyone got any suggestions.. Im open to pretty much anything...

You could try for an EOS 650? I saw one cheap at a local shop and it looked like the film equivalent of a the xxD line.

hmm thats a thought...

EOS 3 or 1N. Both can be had pretty cheap, and both use EF lenses.

Then I'd recommend you look at older models which use FD-lenses. Since these lenses don't work on modern Canon cameras, you get even very good lenses for very little money.

^^Thats really what i didnt want to do BUT id be willing to hear any suggestions on combos with the fd lenses and cameras if anyone wants to chime in there...

Well, an EOS cmaera would make more sense as you can use your existing lenses. I'd say any EOS 1, EOS 3, EOS 5 would be good. Also the older EOS 600/630 are nicely built even if the AF etc. is a bit slower.
An FD system could be an option. Might even be cheaper than a good EOS body. I'd suggest a T90 for an EOS-like experience and whatever lenses you felt the need of. Alternatively an F-1 might be fun, to experience photography without any modes, styles and programmes. I have an old F-1 and it's quite therapeutic to shoot a roll of film occasionally, and to remind oneself of the basics.

I second the EOS 1n or an EOS 3. You can manual focus your EF lenses if you want. The viewfinder and screens are realy different than digitals. I can manually focus with my 1n with a stock focusing screen easier than I can with my 50D using the efs (upgraded) focusing screen.

I ended up picking up an EOS Rebel S....Im borrowing it from my old boss actually lol... I was like when do you want it back.. his words were " eh... I dont need it back..."
