Hi, try as hard as I can I still cant make the change to digital photography and so was wondering if anyone has an old 35 mm film camera knocking about that they dont use anymore. Ive mostly used Nikon and Canon over the years but am just lookng for something to get me going again after recently selling a couple of Canon EOS 600,s with the intention of upgrading to digital.
Thanks
Stew

P.s just re-read the above , i meant to add that I would be interested in buying one not getting a freebie.

Yep, been all over it Fizz just cant seem to find one to grab me as it were, kinda leaning towards Nikon again. Thanks though :D

No worries, how come you don't get on with Digital, I've never used a Film SLR so I dont know what they are like...

I have an old 35mm as well its a Nikkon, haven't used it much. I'll check when I'm at my folks next I'll let you know. Just haven't had the time nor the money to use it really. I need to get another digital camera at some point my last one was nicked.
