I picked up a cheap Nikon N60 recently with a 35-80 AF Nikkor attached. I recommend cameras like these to newbies all the time because they are inexpensive (mine was $30) and easy. Here: Sullivan's Island, SC - Fujifilm Neopan 400, F76+ 1+9. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!
