    Hey all,
    I am looking to rekindle my interest in photography and am looking to pick up a secondhand film camera.
    I'm looking for a manual easy to use camera on a budget of under €100.
    Any advice would be grateful accepted.
    ~Thanks,
    J

    I would recommend joining a camera club. A good one will offer lectures, trips and competitions and what kit to buy

    Thanks for the reply. Am planning on enrolling in the beginners course run by the Dublin Camera Club but not starting up for a while. In the mean time I would like to pick up a camera to play around with.

    Consider joining a photo walk - there are many groups on meetup.com

    look on adverts, bunch of manual film stuff there, though they're typically vastly overpriced. Argue the seller down by about 50% for most of them and you'll be in the right ballpark at least.
