The film SLR is the camera that teaches you photography: its mirror sends the image from the lens to the viewfinder, so nothing is guesswork. Canon FTb and T70, Pentax K1000 and MX, Olympus OM-1, Nikon F3, Fujica ST801, Minolta X-300, Zenit-E: each body is tested and checked, shutter and film advance included.

The mount decidesCanon FD, Nikon F, Pentax K, Olympus OM, Minolta MD, M42 screw mount: a lens only fits its own family. It’s stated on every product page.
With or without a meterOn many models, the battery only powers the light meter: without it, the camera fires normally.
