Good choice! I have noticed that many who have switched eventually return to their manufacturer of origin.

Greener pastures are seldom found on the other side of the fence.

For me, I had chance to use one Nikon body at work.... and I did not really felt comfortable with it then, and do not find the image that much better..... and also, I am lazy to go B&S to sell stuffs.... plus I did not like their ancient lens design look... including Leica... so I just keep to Canon....

Also... I always believe it is the Photographer and not the camera....

I did thought of getting a mechanical FM2 (is it this body?) to pair with a 35mm lens previously, since I thought that the only film body I can get new then...

Did not check if Canon have mechanical body... does Canon have mechanical film body? Thought of getting one.... I think only way is buy used now..... :think:

Greener pastures are always found on the other side at least for the first couple of hours.

At the end.... it is not worth it lor....... I am happy with what I am using... happy with what I have.... eh... not yet.. still have a want a FF body, and 24-70mm F2.8 II, etc... lol...... :bsmilie:

Here is a link to Canon's flagship film body from B&H (USA). The price is $1900! It is fully AF and is native to EF style lenses.

IMO, I would just buy a used film camera. There are several available and very cheap. Personally I've kept my film camera from years ago. It is a Contax RTS Quartz II. It's been in storage for many, many years. I pull it out every so often just to make sure everything works. My Contax camera hasn't taken a photo this century... I just find digital so much easier to work with and much, much cheaper than developing film.

Well I'll be damned. I only stopped using my Contax RTSIII when I switched to digital in November 2010. Nice to know
a fellow Contax owner. But I am a keeper will still use the RTSIII ocassionally though
