What can anyone tell me about 35mm cameras?I have always been interested in photography but all I have ever had was a low class digital camera. I'm really wanting a beginners 35mm and want to learn to develop my own photos. What can you tell me about different camera lenses and how to go about developing my own pictures?
Thanks! ! !

It's really a pain - and expensive. You need an enlarger, four baths for the prints (developer, stop, fix, wash), paper, drying clips, red bulbs and more. Figure around $ 500 for a cheap setup, plus the cost of paper and chemicals. Then you need different chemicals for different film types.
You're better off seeing if a local photo club has a setup you can use.

If you want to go into film you could not have picked a better time. True professional quality SLR that a couple of years ago were a few thousand for the body you can now get for a few hundred. The lenses are readily available just make sure you get FX not DX lenses. I had a darkroom in my basement for years. If you are doing black and white its not hard and again you can pick up enlargers right now for a song.
I like Nikon so I would say go to adorama.com and browse the used gear, Others make good cameras also though.

Instead of recreating the Stone Age. I would get at least a 6mp digital camera and Adobe Photoshop which will allow tons more creativity than a darkroom. As you print your photos on your color printer, you might wonder what photo labs are doing for a living now because you will never feel a need for them again.
