If I were spending my money I'd go for a good Rolleiflex or Rolleicord because of the collectability. Provided you take care of it, you'll likely get most of your money out for it at the other end.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well lets consider it this way, full frame DSLRs are currently over £2000, while a good film SLR is worth around £50-100…now look at a digital medium format camera, good ones are over £20k…so film medium formats aren’t going to be as cheap as 35mm now are they?
