    The Pentax looks tempting though. 2 cameras and 4 lenses as well as a battery grip. The ability to swap lenses is probably more useful.

    Yeah, I'll bid on them both and if I win I'll sell one of the cameras to a shop and probably get more back than I payed.

    There was one film camera I always wanted to get. I'm trying to think of it. It was a camera that took 70mm film I think and if you modded it, you could get it to use 35mm with two lengths of exposures used for each photo. So everything was like a panoramic photo.

    Never heard of it myself. I was bidding on a Nikon last week and lost at the last second :( But then I found out that the camera isn't the best so was kind of happy I didn't win :pac:

    I wish I had money. I'm going to see if I can find a job online - an online journalist.

    When I was 13, I worked for some PS3 website writing articles and I used to get paid! Until I got caught for plagiarism. Ah how young and naive I was. :pac:

    35mm film in Holga, medium format cameras, gives these results.

    and if you get your winding right, this:

    All from a modded Holga medium format film camera.

    That looks cool.

    Holga's are cheap enough too AFAIK

    Ya, but you can't get the film printed easily. You need to do it yourself in a darkroom so I won't bother until I get mine set up.
