Cheers @NigelL , I've actually just bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINOLTA-DYNAX-7000i-RETRO-35mm-35-80mm-ZOOM-FILM-CAMERA-CASE-FOR-RSPCA-CHARITY-/291414622500 as I've enjoyed shooting film so much.
Planning on buying a single prime lens for it and mainly shooting B + W.
Any recommendations of lenses of film would be much appreciated.
I'm going to try snapsphotoservices for development.
Cheers,
Mike

Mike, the Dynax is a great camera; only thing missing is full manual shooting, but aperture priority mode is fine and the AF is pretty fast. Fast - 1/4000th - max shutter speed too if you have enough light at your disposal.
I shot nothing but Velvia 100 on mine for about 3 years and it never failed me. I had a fixed 50mm MF Sigma on it, here's a couple of very old shots from Japan.
As for film, I'd start out with some cheap B&W film just to get used to the camera, then hit up Poundland for colour st0ck.

Although they can take a fortnight or so to turn round, I can recommend snapsphotoservices for developing, it's where I send my 120 and any 35mm film that my local Boots won't touch! Snaps also sell film (as do Boots), and I've also bought from Lomography in the past (don't forget the carriage charge on small orders), it's also worth looking in Poundland for cheap film such as Agfa Vista 200
