The increase in detail and tonality you get with a bigger negative is really nice, and more fun to play around with in the lab. Just a thought.

Unfortunately DX lenses will vignette and crop on yor 35 mm film camera but any FX lenses you get for the film camera will work on your D40 The FA already mentioned is a great camera that was well ahead of its time when if was first produced.

It has various auto modes for exposure, but can go full manual for your class. And except for any DX lenses you have, your Nikon lenses should work fine. I love my Nikon FA.
