Hey there /p/About 4 years ago back in highschool I did a photography class and I've been thinking recently about picking up an old analog SLR and reliving the fun times of shooting with an old-school camera for the lulz. Can anyone recommend somewhere to source an old SLR? Obviously it's not for professional use so I don't want to go over-the-top on the money side of things, just the camera and a basic lens.Hugh Grant not related.
eBay, craigslist, flea markets, thrift stores. They're all over the place.

eBay/craigslist/etc are all good places.Make sure the model you pick has a builtin lightmeter (nearly all of them do)Also camerapedia.org ftw.
