Film photography has made a resurgence, particularly with the younger generation who grew up with digital cameras. While it's possible to pick up a vintage film camera on eBay for a few hundred dollars, it takes a little knowledge beforehand to make the most of cameras such as the Nikon FM and the Canon F-1.

For anyone who's keen on experimenting first before investing in a manual film camera that costs more, the best place to start would be with a newer model that's easily available and cheaper. A lot cheaper!

The lowest price for a Kodak Ektar H35 half-frame camera is for the Sage colourway, and while Amazon's discount is just 20%, the camera typically retails for around AU$79 to AU$99. So your savings are actually better shopping from Amazon. The Brown and the Sand colour options are also discounted but they will set you back a little more at AU$69 and AU$72.60 respectively.

Admittedly a couple of dollars isn't anything to write home about but the RRP of a Kodak M35 in Australia is AU$39, so you are getting a slightly better saving from Amazon on what is already a remarkably affordable film camera. Available in multiple colours at the same price.
