Hello, I've just developed my first reel of film as a beginner to photography. It's been really fun but I can see now the limitations of pic related after seeing how my pictures have turned out.
I'd like to get a slr camera with manual options and a lot of user input to start learning everything like Takumi's 86, but I know nothing about cameras and don't want to and can't afford to waste money on trash.
how to know what is a good model and how to know if a 2nd hand camera like on ebay has been damaged or worth buying?
was hoping to get a camera body good enough to never need replacement, and use a cheap lens until more I'm more skilled.
I'd also love to be able to do night astronomy photography if that affects the camera model
can anyone point me in the right direction and what to look for?
