since you eventually want to get a dslr, i'd suggest you learn with you dad's F4
it is an awesome camera.

to save $ learning, you need to think first b4 you release the shutter.
and shoot slides (positives)

oh yeah, i think i will give that a try, thanks!
the only thing i know about slide film is that the colours come out more vibrant / saturated? or is there more to it?

[ortega]

underexpose slightly, blown slides look really bad
buy yourself a good lupe
