Well I can't sleep, so I'm gonna post this.
Should I buy a SLR camera (I like film, so I'm getting one) with a lens, or just the SLR body? Simple question, just asking. I guess once I find out what kind of camera my uncle and aunt have and what type of lenses they use will help me. I could just use their's I guess. |

If you have little experience with advanced controls on cameras, I'd highly recommend getting a DSLR over a film SLR. You save money in the long run, and it's better for learning since you can preview your exposures instantly.
That said, if you know what you're looking for, buy a body without a kit lens. |

Well I've really wanted a film SLR, for some odd reason I like film. I know how to use the controls too, so I don't think that'll be a problem. :D I'll go ponder about it more though.
