I am thinking of getting back into film photography as something to supplement my digital photography. So many cameras I couldn't afford back in the day, and now at reasonable prices, too! I would like advice on good-quality film cameras that won't break the bank. There are lots on the market, but a camera that has a bright, split image focusing screen would be a plus. What say, camera experts?
Thanx!

Strictly manual body or autofocus/manual body? Nikon, Canon, Minolta, and Pentax all had great versions of both manual and autofocus that are reasonably priced today. You'll find both styles in different price ranges, depending on features.

Ask about film camera are you now? Herte is a list of film cameras from my collection. That I have tested and use over the years: Yashica FX-3 Super 2000// Yashica GSN. Great camera to have and use.// Canon A-1. To me this camera is better than Canon AE-1.// Pentax K-1000. If I only could own one film camera The Pentax K- 1000 would be it. Also the Pentax ME Super is also a very good camera. I do have a Nikon EM, the only reason I have it is because of the lenses that came with the camera. The lenses are: Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4 and a 24mm Nikon lens. To me Nikon cameras are over rated and have been for years. Minolta's cameras yes and no. Forget about Olympus's cameras. All the camera listedyou can fine for under a $125.00. So off you go to find a nice 35mm film camera.
