Hello! I recently got into photography, and purchased a Minolta x700, with several MD lenses. I’m very happy with it, but I didn’t realize how expensive film photography can be. I am considering to switching to DSLR once I develop my skills, and I was wondering what some good options are for entry level DSLR cameras would be.

Ideally the DSLR should or can accept my current Minolta MD lenses.

Thanks!

Edit: I’m not even sure that DSLR photography will be more cost effective, so if I’m wrong, please fill me in! I paid 24 dollars for a 3 pack of Fujifilm 200, and it is 17 dollars to develop a single roll at CVS (there are no other photo labs in the area, and they send it away, anyway).

    Adapters lots of times don’t transmit lens data to the camera so you can lose features such as image stabilization, autofocus, aperture adjustments, and metadata. Though I believe MD lenses are manual to begin with.
