In this video, I review my recommendations for what gear to use when shooting film. This hopefully helps those who want to start shooting film but want to know more about the gear they need.
The nice compromise between choosing an retro, film SLR camera and a simple point and shoot is buying something like canon eos300 that has full auto mode that makes shooting with it as simple as with a point and shoot, but also gives you a way to just wokr your way thru all the manual thing with a camera that's familiar to you. It''s not as fun to use as an old mechanical camera, but it saves you a lot of money and frustration (and the camera itself ain't that expensive). Later you can switch to full manual retro thing for the full feel of film photograhy!
What did you start shooting film on or what do you plan to start shooting film on?
