I'm looking to buy a nice affordable film camera that can be manually focused etc. Any suggestions?
Sorry this post isn't very detailed as I don't really know what I need or want. I just know that I want a film camera that I can focus, adjust iso etc.

35mm or Medium Format?
if 35mm Canon AE-1 with a 50mm lens? Used to have one when I was younger, it rules, I miss it a lot. I want to get another but, I dont want to go back to shooting 35mm film, just medium and large format film for me now!

35mm indeed! I'll check out that camera today when I go to the local store.
Thanks Jeff.

Jeff - I can't thank you enough for recommending this camera. I love it so far. I simply picked up a filter for the lens, lens cap, camera strap and was good to go. The camera came in excellent condition and takes super warm / nice photos. Exactly the look I was hoping for.
Are there any lenses / accessories you'd recommend I check out for this camera?
