Film Cameras
Film is not dead. Many beginner photographers are using film cameras to develop their style and skills. Many experience photographers prefer the look and feel of photos taken with film.
The main difference for digital photographers who pick a film camera is the lack of a screen. Using film you have to learn to be patient. You also need to be more sure of your settings because you won’t know if you get something wrong until your film comes back from the lab.
This can certainly help hone your skills. Taking time to understand what you’re doing while using film is a good challenge.
Most film cameras work the same way DSLR cameras do. Range finder film cameras are like mirrorless cameras but without an electronic viewfinder or screen. They all have a lens and a shutter to control the light. The film you load determines the ISO.
New film cameras are not so common. There are many types of second hand film cameras available. They include compacts, SLR, medium format and large format cameras that use sheet film.
