35mm was pretty much the standard format for journalism, street photography and amateur photography from the 1950's to the late 1990's. There are only a few camera types still in production today, but it is still very easy to find film and have a lot of fun with 35mm as a shooting format. I get asked from time to time about how to get into 35mm and I'll talk a bit about this in this episode. While digital purists will look at 35mm as being passe and behind the times, I'll offer this.
Go to a gallery or a museum sometime and see a photojournalism show with real 35mm prints. There is a particular look to this that I've never seen reproduced just the same with other formats - particularly digital post processing. Digital post can give some very nice results, but real prints from 35mm negatives just have a brilliant look to them that is hard to reproduce.
Particularly at larger sizes - 8x10 or 16x20 the tonality and the grain are just right. This was a largely amateur format even back in its day because of the small negative size, but its got a look to it that we've come to know over the last 60 years.
Another thing I really love about older 35mm cameras is the actual camera design when shooting. There are no computer screens to scroll through. All fo the controls are simple and great attention was given to their placement so these cameras are for the most part extremely easy to use and get comfortable with.
Get a 35mm camera and experiment - its quite a lot of fun.
