How do I choose a camera for film photography?

Choosing a camera for film photography depends on your budget, experience level, and the type of photography you want to pursue. Are you looking for a specific style or brand?

I'm interested in street photography and I have a budget of around $500.

For street photography, a compact camera with a good lens is ideal. You might consider options like the Canon AE-1 or the Nikon FM2, both of which are great for beginners and fit your budget.

What about lenses? Do I need to buy additional ones?

It depends on your style! A 50mm lens is versatile for street photography, but you might also want a wider lens for capturing more of the scene. Look for prime lenses for better quality.

Are there any specific film types I should consider?

Yes! For street photography, you might want to try ISO 400 films like Kodak Portra 400 for color or Ilford HP5 Plus for black and white. They offer great flexibility in various lighting conditions.
