I'm planning to take a photography class next semester. I'm required to have manually adjustable 35mm camera. Does any one have any suggestions? I'm an amateur and I'm doing this for fun. Any suggestions or advices would be appreciated.

Since you need a camera with manual focus, any film SLR with manual focus will do which means you can find cheap film SLR cameras from the 80's and stuff that are still usable... I heard a lot of good things about Nikon FM.

I have a photography class right now, and we're using Pentax K 1000 WHICH SUCKS. But the other ones my teacher has are the Vivitar V3800N 35mm. I have it with me right now, it works great smile.gif

I was considering the pentax k 1000 after hearing so many good reviews about it. Guess not. LOL

Thanks Minji.v, I think I might go with the Nikon FM since my cousin recommended that too. And some of the Minolta's as well. I'm still searching and looking around though. sweatingbullets.gif
