Doe, If you are wanting to learn from the bottom/ground up, I feel that slides may be a better route for awhile. The narrower latitude makes you learn more about exposure than print film does. It helps you to get to know your camera and lenses and their behaviors. I learned on slides and I think it helps me with using print film correctly.
