The Hit Toy Camera Comes to an End Just when I'm thinking of getting myself a film camera. Mark |

Get yourself a good film camera then. Those things were a toy. We spent about £100 on eBay for a Nikon F4 that's great. Why not take a look at an older Nikon so your lenses will work? Or are you thinking of getting into 120? |

If I go film, it'll have to do something that my current DSLR can't. There's plenty of good offers available online for second-hand SLR cameras, but why get something which works exactly the same way as my current camera does? With this in mind, I'm looking at getting a Sprocket Rocket, just for fun. Mark |

FWIW you can find Olympus Trips in charity shop is for about £10 - £20. I know they aren't SLRs, but that should not deter you. Nice little cameras. |

I suppose a Diana F+ would be a suitable Holga alternative. I never had a Sprocket Rocket but did enjoy the novelty of owning some other 'toy' cameras. My favourite was the Supersampler but the Spinner 360 and La Sardina were also fun. |

There are, if you want to go down the “funky film camera” route, there are stereo cameras around that use film. |

It seems that all I had to do was to add the Sprocket Rocket to my Amazon wishlist, and someone bought it for me for Christmas. (8+D Now I just need to source me some film for it. Mark |

I used to use 7dayshop and [url="http://www.discountfilmsdirect.co.uk/35mm-camera-film-10-c.asp"]Discount Films Direct[/url]. There was another but I don't remember the name. It's sad now looking at the selection available compared to how much more there was even just a few years ago. |

Bought a pinhole camera (self assembly) from WHSmiths for £2. Will get a roll of B&W and have a play with it with Emily. |
