>>4413736I got started with digital and owned many models over the months. I was actually downgrading and enjoying having less and less features, until I decided to sell it and get a film camera out of the blue as I found a used Minolta SRT 101 in a thrift shop.
Since then, photography feels different to me, in a better way, I'd say. Not wasting shots on garbage, actually thinking before shooting, enjoying the much slower process, etc. Now I own several full manual Pentax cameras and a few Minoltas.
I'd suggest either the Minolta SRT series,(the lenses are cheaper) or a Pentax Spotmatic (the lenses are slightly more expensive, but way better imo).
Avoid the mainstream models such as the AE1, unless you are willing to pay more.
