The Phoblographer’s Guide to the 6 Best Film Cameras for a Beginner

It should come as no surprise to long time readers of The Phoblographer that we're quite fond of shooting with film. Astronomical megapickle counts are all the rage these days. Improvements in computational photography are helping smartphone cameras punch well above their weight as well.

Despite these technological advancements, however, there's a certain je ne sais quoi about loading a roll of your favorite emulsion into a film camera and actually going out to shoot that digital cameras lack. There's nothing quite like the magical quality of the clicking of an analog camera's shutter or the cranking of the film advance lever. Maybe it's the mechanical nature of it all, or perhaps we're just nostalgic. What we do know for sure is that shooting with film cameras cuts through the bullshit. Instead of spraying and praying like some are prone to do with a digital camera, shooting on a film camera forces you to be more deliberate, more mindful, and more present. Shooting analog distills the act of photography down to its basest form and forces you to focus on the act of image-making itself. If you've always wanted to give film try, and we wholeheartedly think all photographers should, here are six of the best film cameras to get you started. You're welcome. .
