Response to How should I get started with b&w photograpy and where can I find a camera

I also think that the Yashica camera is a great one to start with. But finding one can sometimes be hard going. Don't over look the 35mm slr, you can find some great deals even on an old Nikon. Look in the classified pages of your local paper. Search the internet, buy and look at all the ads in Shutterbug Magazine. I started on an old Yashica, then moved to a Crown Graphic. The 4X5 camera is the ultimate tool in still photography, but it's slow. Get a manual camera, you'll learn many more skills that way.
