If your looking at old cameras a pentax mx is really good, it has consistent metering and everything is adjustable that you want, the metering system is also very simple so its easy to quickly focus and meter something.

For a newer camera look at vivitar they have film SLR’s with the adjustable functions you want. they also come with a 50mm lense the pentax may or may not come with a lense.

You could try the Promaster 2500 PK
http://www.amazon.com/Promaster-2500pk-Super-35mm-Camera/dp/B000PKP4L0
It’s very similar to the old Pentax K1000, but it has a plastic instead of metal body. It has a vertical travel shutter instead of horizontal, so you get a faster x-sync.

Standard answers to this usually include the Pentax K1000 and Olympus OM-1. The Pentax is easier to find the correct battery for.

They are not necessarily the “best” SLRs in your price range, but they are considered some of the best to learn on, because they give you exactly the essentials, do their jobs well, and don’t include features that will confuse or distract you.

Another interesting choice you might consider if you can find it is the Fujica ST605. It combines metering with depth of field preview, which makes it just slightly harder to use at first, but really makes you think about composition.

Kodak and Fujifilm is a excellent choice. you can find these type of films at most camera stores like walgreens, circuitcity, bestbuy, etc….good luck

This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content f
