At the moment there are a few ways to think about getting into film photography.
If you are also interested in digital photography, it's probably a good idea to get a film camera that works with the same lenses as your digital camera. It will be relatively easy to find a used film camera in good shape that has the same lens mount as your digital camera.
Another option is to have a film camera from one manufacturer and a digital camera another manufacturer and then use adapters to make your lenses compatible with both cameras. Film camera / lens systems were never designed to be compatible with today's digital equipment. So, using adapters usually involves some kind of compromise. Some adapters work just fine. Some adapters only make it possible to physically mount a lens on a camera. Some adapters, arguably, interfere with the optical performance of your lenses. If you want to try using adapters as a bridge between two systems, you'll need to do some research about how much functionality you'll actually get out of your system.
If you don't care about any of that, you can buy an old film camera with compatible lenses and just let that be your film set up. There are many great options for stand alone film camera systems, far too many to list.
