Im really interested in photography and want to learn how to use a 35mm slr camera. My question is whether i should start with a fim camera or a dslr? I know a film camera would be cheaper, but in the long run there is the cost of film and developing the film. I was just interested in your opinions and which cameras would be appropriate for an amature. Thanks |

Definitely digital. You will still need to apply the same principles, but you don't have to worry about wasting film.
You can concentrate on the basics and composition without having to worry about wasting film and you can correct on the spot without having to wait until you get the results.
You are thinking about a digital slr aren't you? |

I believe the D40 kit came with an 18-55 lens. That is also an excellent lens. Nice and sharp. |
