>>3331532Oh, do you have any experience with just the F series? I think my current dream camera is an F2, just seems amazingly durable. All I really care about in a camera is durable, good meter, good viewfinder. Any other cameras you'd recommend?
As far as shooting manual.... I'm enjoying my cosina a lot. Not very well known, but the meter is friendly, it has a 1/2000 shutter, and it feels good in the hand. Really all I can say about manual film (never shot film with autofocus or auto anything) is that you'll get used to exposure better than you'd think. Typically I can estimate exposure now within about a stop during the day, and I've just shot 4.5 rolls so far.
