I've been wanting to delve into film for a while but didn't want to pay the price for a new film camera. So I did a bit of researching and settled on an oldie but a goodie, the Canon Canonet GIII QL17 with a Sunpack flash. It's compact, inexpensive, and takes great pictures with its fast and sharp 40/1.7 lens.
Those of you who have shot film for a long time are probably familiar with the virtues of this little camera, but for those who aren't here's a site that lists all its features: http://www.cameraquest.com/canql17.htm
And here's a site of some very creative pictures taken with this camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/heather/sets/1494482/
I drove all over Banning and Beaumont today checking the thrift and antique stores to see I could find this little camera, but to no avail. I reasoned that I might as well buy one off ebay since by the time I find one I would have already spent that much in gas! All in all, I am only $58 poorer and figure I can't go wrong at this price. Even if the camera only provides me with a few rolls of film before it poops out I figure it is worth the few bucks I paid for it just to get to test the waters of film.
Now, anybody got any advice for what type of film I should use for this camera (both for b/w and color)?
