If I were in your position (again) then I would stick to shooting 35mm film for now. It is the best way in learning proper exposure and composition.

Just save you money and either buy a full frame digital SLR (5d series 1) or a Mamiya/Hasselblad medium format, even if it takes you a while. Nothing compares to a full frame shot.


When you shoot film you dont allways remember what kinds of settings you used and how much you over/under exposed when taking the pic. Thhis makes it really crap for learning imo. With digital you can take a pic, see if dof if right for example, if its not then reshoot with correct settings.

That's why you buy a moleskine notebook and keep notes on everything you shoot.
