the ones that the pros use. it seems like it would be complicated but i also feel that if i just buy one and use it i will learn.
School to learn how to use a DSLR camera? No, that would be a waste. Google is your friend for forums and trial and error is what gets things learned, even for the pro's.
I would advise you to jump in and be kind to yourself. Heck, you're learning something new.
A DSLR is NOT a 35mm camera. To even rent a 35mm camera it can costs millions of dollars.
...if i just buy one...
Millions? Are you sure?A DSLR is NOT a 35mm camera. To even rent a 35mm camera it can costs millions of dollars.
True, but he didn't ask about a DSLR he asked about a 35mmGive me a break, will you? I was just trying to help the guy. It's not typical for independent filmmakers to shoot on 35mm film camera's, is it?
I took my best shot. What's your advice to the original poster?
They aren't that complicated. Most of the people I have met andthe ones that the pros use. it seems like it would be complicated but i also feel that if i just buy one and use it i will learn.

I guess it's different in England than here in the states. To even
rent a 35mm camera here costs about $2,000 per week. For an
eight week shoot that quite a but less than millions of dollars.
True, but he didn't ask about a DSLR he asked about a 35mm
camera - "the ones that the pros use". I'll take my best shot...
When the OP referred to buying his own, I made a tragic assumption, but I wasn't being malicious. My apologies to the OP and anyone else I managed to offend.

They aren't that complicated. Most of the people I have met and
worked with have learned to use the camera by working with a
camera assistant. Interns usually start as a loader (easy job) and
work their way up. You're right mad_hatter, no DP will let a PA
have a play with their camera, but most will hire an intern and teach
them.
I just bought a 16mm camera and started learning to use it whenthanks for the help. im looking to PA on some films this summer. i was just wondering because i read an interview with james cameron (from 30 years ago) and he just bought a 35mm camera and started learning it. now they are very expensive to get which is why everyones going digital. i just prefer the look of film.
@OP:
If you have the money and can buy one, buy it and learn to use it through the studying and learning online, asking people on forums for advice and help, trial and error and working with more experienced people than yourself.
Yep. That's what this thread is about. Buying a 35mm camera.buy a 35mm camera?
@Psy To type about a 35mm camera, it costs millions of dollars. I hope you all have that money.
