First wanted a dSLR after a convo w/ a friend and started looking for film SLR due to budget and started leaning towards a Spotmatic. Picked one up later with a 50mm preset macro and Vivitar 250 prime but was already in the deep end. Ended up finding and bidding on the perfect camera.
I've shot 3 rolls with it, a handful of happy results and a real bond with my new baby. Its also so intuitive and full featured that I've gotten kind of spoiled by it.
Since I'm still learning, I've been shooting with the cheapest film I could find, Fuji Superia. I'd like to try some B&W, maybe the new "Neopan" or some high ISO film but so far I'm still experimenting.
Also ended up with another Spotty and a 55/1.8 and zoom from a fellow member here. Though the two Spottys don't get any use b/c of they condition so I'm looking to get rid of them. Maybe save one for "Sunny 16" shooting since all mech are good still.
Oh yes, I still ended up getting a dSLR, and a pretty serious kit at that but the PZ-1P is still probably my favorite so far.
