Ok, just so we are clear, despite not being a infant, I have never used a film camera.I have picked up a Pentax A3000 as a by product of buying the A 50mm 1.7 that it came with.I intend to give the camera to a friend but would like to put one film through it first for fun.Is there a type of film that would be forgiving or best suited to this camera.Many thanks for any pointers.

Oh and just as importantly,where should I get the film developed?

Thanks

Not a bad price if you are after one.

Quidco is i think 3% but jessops5 gets another 5% off.Even I am tempted and I have a 55-300 already.Sometimes I dislike bargains.

I ended up doing the crop a lttle close to the base of the plinth,into the black area and coming tighter to the rear of the tigers.The bit I couldn't see for looking was the fence.I knew there was something missing,or in this case too much.Thanks again all.Back to the printer when I get time.

This Fella was the one at Marwell.Pretty pretty eyes.I nearly tore that fence down with my teeth to get a clear picture.Marwell has very quick responding security you know.Thanks again all.

Thank you all for your replies.I will probably only have a few hours on Saturday or Sunday morning so it will have to be Chessington or London zoo.I think I may be encouraged to go to Chessington.I will though make a note of your recommendations for a later date.Many thanks.
