You're not in 16 bit mode are you? Or working perhaps in Lab colour?

The Hoya lenses were typical 1970s independent fare - good but not outstanding.

Yes, the FA 50mm will work just fine.
For slide film you are probably better starting off process paid (you get an envelope with the film) or using mail order. Shops can be very slow with slide films, although they probably still do them. Mind you, they might be daft enough to try and process them like a negative film, which is an interesting effect but not what we normally want.

It's probably a good time for camera manufacturers to realise that half the population are female and are also possibly better photographers.high tech cameras are often regarded as male jewelry
The other 50% in this household is frighteningly good at both taking the shots and then manipulating them in Photoshop.

Glad to hear it worked for you. Although if 2000 - 12000 K is not enough,, then you can't be on Earth!

1) As you are used to a DSLR I would suggest one of the MZ series. The best of these IMO are the MZ5 and MZ3. They can be found for very low prices on eBay.
2) Film is expensive compared to digital....but look at the sdvertisments in Amateur Photographer and also check out eBay.
3) Slide film produces positive images that are projected in a slide projector. The colour and definition of these is unsurpassed. Films are usually returned to you cut and mounted ready for projection. Print film produces negatives which can then be made into prints. You have a choice of colour or black and white films and you might like to try both. Films can also be scanned of course.
4) You might have to go mail order to get 120 film processed. Or get a tank and chemicals and learn how to process it yourself. This latter route will give you the best quality, with practice anyway!
Have fun!

I don't know what SRS put on eBay, but they charge a fair price to us via the web.
It's like everything else, you price for the particular market you are in. Sometimes the advertised prices in AP are different too (usually higher.
Now we are aware of the choice we can look into it and take advantage if we wish to.

It could be just the thing for covert shooting in the snow.
