Would like to learn about film photography. Camera recommendations for Nikon Brand?

So I would really love to get into the art of film photography. However, does the camera body Really make a difference in the image quality? I was thinking of getting a Nikon N50 or N65 to start off with but will there be a drastic change in quality compared to a Nikon F10 or F6?

I've had a DSLR (Nikon d5000) for about 3 years now and would like to learn more about photography. Yes, film is going to take more thinking because you can't use test photos as much and delete them later, and yes I know I'm going to meter a lot which I do a lot on my dslr.

Also, what are your recommendations for beginner film cameras besides the N50 or N65 that isn't TOO expensive? I would like to stick with Nikon… Thank you!

For film, the body of the camera hardly matters. A camera from 1920 can take just as good pictures as today's top notch Nikon F6 film camera

what you want is a well built camera, such as an F2 or F3, FM, or the original F

do remember, however, that you must use FX lenses if you want to expose the entire frame. Might I suggest the simple, but most effective 50mm f/1.8D lens. It won't autofocus on your D5000, but you will need the manual aperture control for film.

I agree it's not the body that's all that important, it's the lenses you use.

Know that exposure, aperture and film speed are relatively the same as with digital photography.
Buy film of say 200 ASA and set up your camera accordingly.
