Well I was surfing Ebay and looking to buy another camera. When I spotted a Nikon N55. for only 65.00 US and Free shipping and handeling. I was like no way but it was true and nothing wrong with the camera so far, and im getting ready to develope the first film.

Nice find, the reason it was so cheap is most likely because it's film. It's like when you look at the EOS 5D, £1200+ it's film counterpart (granted it's older) now sells for around £150-250+ if your lucky.

thats true, the seller emailed me and told me she was a student last semester and she began with film then she decided to go witht he digital classes and just go all digital with a new DSLR, so yes more and more digital are the new thing .. so it does make for the cheap prices on film cameras.

Do you have your own darkroom? I haven't developed film in years. I miss those days... :)

No id ont have my own darkroom but im thinking of converting my guest room closet into one.

The space is huge so its not a problem , All i would need to do is cover up all cracks from door for light. and then just buy the equpment.

so maybe n the future i will, for now im enrolled in my local community collge and for only 175.00 us dollars a semester I have acess to the lab 6 days a week for a total of 10 hours a day. so thats not too bad
