Hey, i am thinking about buying a slr from my friend but have some questions about it.

It is a Sigma sa-7n and im wondering if it will be good for shooting skiing pics?

I have never owned a slr before and also want to know if this is an ok camera for a beginer?

And yes i know that a dlsr would be a better camera for a beginner but i just dont have the skrilla for one of them right now.

+k for all helpfull posts!

I am also going to try to shoot some nature shots with it as well if that makes a difference.

for skiing, no. Just drop some money on an advanced P&S and learn from there.

if you don't mind spending shrilla to find and buy ISO 800+ film and then paying to have it developed, sureee.

I shot film for a longgg time. It get's expensive real quick. You'd be better off finding a rebel xti and kit lens for about 350.

 If the only reason you want a film SLR is to save money then you shouldn't get one. It's a good way to learn technical fundamentals correctly, but not a great way to progress quickly, and is not cheap.
