can someone talk me out of buying a 35mm camera

You can mount vintage film lenses to a Sony, Fuji, Nikon and Canon mirrorless camera and get the vintage lens vibes that you want. This allows you to skip buying and processing film, only to scan that image digitally so you can share on social media or mint NFTs. You can avoid that whole process with one vintage lens.

This is exactly what I was going to say... You can scour your local ad listings sites and find all kinds of absolutely amazing 25+ year old lenses that nobody wants anymore, pick them up for the price of a coffee 😃

My local second hand shop (vintage store) has a photo gear section. Mostly junk, I always check it anyway. Picked up a Pentax Super Takumar 50mm F/1.4 lens for $20 a few years ago. I would try KEH.COM or Etsy.com for vintage lenses. Happy to answer questions.

I use some lenses that are 40-50 years old. As long as there is an adapter for that lens and the Sony.

So how old of lenses can I buy that would work with a modern Sony? Will this actually look as old as real film?

I’ve also been considering buying a very early digital camera, maybe a Fuji because I like their colors
