I'd actually love to have @chez join us... film cameras are cheeeeep! Just don't do something dumb like buy a Leica..
I dunno what he shoots, but if it is Nikon or Canon, a film slr that will take those AF lenses is $20-$50 if you get one of the excellent but not trendy models.
As everyone knows by now, I like the F/N80. So something like that.
And there are like a billion other film cameras for $20-$30.
Shoot a roll, post the pics here. C'mon in, the water is warm!

Have no interest in film anymore. Been there, done that…got the tee-shirt. Sold my 4x5 earlier this year. I find the whole process of developing the film and then scanning it to be boring without adding any creativity. With 4 photo printers, I have zero interest sitting in a dim room making prints.
But feel free in seeing my images posted throughout this site.
Acros II
GSW690II with stacked 8 and 4 stop ND filters
I didn't pay attention when I was putting my ND filters on in the dark, I meant to stack an 8 and 2 stop instead. I realized when I took them off after I'd shot the whole roll, so I just had the lab push process 2 stops. The negs seem more contrasty to me, but still plenty usable.
I find film is sooooo much better than digital for very long exposures (this one was 15 minutes). And cameras like the big Fuji rangefinders are especially ideal. No battery needed for the shutter like on my Pentax 67, rangefinder means you can compose with ND filters on and T speed means you don't need to fiddle with a locking cable release.

I just like acknowledging good photography as it stands out from other simple photos that are posted. Seems like I got your ears burning somewhat.
It is one thing to acknowledge good photography. It is another thing to go out of your way to insult others on this board.
You wrote, and I quote:
It’s refreshing to see images that took time during composition than some images posted that seem to totally lack any composition and are truly p&s…
Chez, you are a sad, rude man. Try and get some joy in your life. You’ll feel better.
This is what happens when the shutter for some reason gives a much longer exposure than it is set for! The rest of the roll was fine. This is also why you should exercise the shutters in old cameras about once a month.
But, this accidental pic worked out just great!
