Hey guys, i need to buy a 35mm film slr camera and dont know where to buy one..
any ideas?/
Sandra check out our For Sale section, there are some cameras for sale. Also you can put up a post in the Equipment Wanted section (near the bottom of the site).
Hi Sandra,
I’ve bought five 35mm SLRs in the past month. Some were advertised here, some were on adverts.ie. Two were modern canon film SLRs, two were Zenits and one was a Praktica. Some worked straight away, some needed a little bit of work, but the most expensive one was €40 so I can’t complain.
I’d say you can get something decent for under €50 but if you’re looking for something a bit more modern, take a look at http://www.adverts.ie/film-cameras/film-camera-canon-eos-50e-body/318444″ onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;. I was tempted to buy it myself, but I think I’ve spent enough on cameras for one month.
Keep an eye on equipment-for-sale.html and on http://www.adverts.ie/for-sale/q_film+slr/sortby_best_match-desc/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; and you’ll find something soon enough.
Hi Sandra,
Ebay can also be a good place to find quite reasonably priced film cameras, if you don’t see what you’re looking for come up in the classifieds. Make sure you buy from a reputable seller who makes all the right noises though.
If you haven’t a preference towards brand, consider the excellent Olympus OM range, which probably presents the greatest combination of price and performance. There are some great Nikon and Canon cameras out there, but which are frequently not exactly cheap when body and lens(es) are considered. In comparison the Olympus OM range, which were among the best, along with most of the excellent quality Olympus lenses (known as Zuiko’s) can be picked up for buttons.
Good luck with your search

Purchased a second hand Canon 50D film camera, Second hand sigma lens 75-200mm and a Second hand canon lens 35-80mm :)I thought the Canon 50D was a digital camera. Does the ‘D’ not stand for digital?
