oh! lol thanks! Then I am glad that I didn't buy that EOS APS film camera biggrin.gif

Have you used a film camera before? If you have, is there any cameras that you would recommend?


yeah I used them, the best bet is an EOS 650 (I have one) , it's the first EF lens compatible camera (so you can use your current and future lens on it) and it's really cheap (29 euros for mine). There is nothing really more to it, it's the film that makes a difference.

I see... lol well I guess I will have to try to find a cheap used eos 650 or any of those 35mm EOS cameras. Well my current lens and the lens I am planning on to buy (Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM) have EF-S mount so they won't fit full frame film cameras but I guess I'll just spend 100 something dollars and get a 50 f/1.8 lens biggrin.gif

actually sigma 10-20 has ef mount so it will fit on full frame camera, not ef-s, but its made for a crop sensor, so it will show the tube of the lens with under 17mm(if i remember right) at the edges of pic. Allso 17mm is hell of a wide angle on film, so i dont think you want to be shooting with that only. Get the 50 1.8 for teh film camera, its the perfect focal lenght
