What do you need to know about it? Pretty typical film body imo.

Indeed, it's just a pretty simple consumer level film SLR, along the lines of consumer DSLR's available today.


What do you want to know about it?

I honestly dont know, I was just hoping someone would know a bit about it o_o

I cant play with it yet because theres no battery (or film for that matter) and I see a bunch of random buttons up top. Cant really experiment with a film camera like you can with a digital, it becomes a waste of money then xD

your film determines your iso, therefore your settings will be dependant on that. if it has a built in light meter (doubtful unless its a newer model) then start off using your dslr to help you with settings (choose aperture then go onto your dslr select the same iso as your film and it will tell you what shutter speed in aperture priority mode.) also if you have newer lens' without an aperture ring you need to look on line how to select aperture.

other than that i just suggest you try many types of film. and enjoy the fabulous outcomes!

Thank you :D! That makes sense. Now Im going to have to study aperture..I dont ever use that. I always just use manual.

Oh yes, once I can figure it out and I can afford it, Ill get lots of different shiz.

if you know manual then aperture priority mode should be a piece of cake.. all it is is instead of you choosing both aperture and shutter speed, you choose the aperture and your camera chooses your shutter speed for you ^_^

e: if the photo is darker than you'd like the add some exposure compensation and vice versa if it's too bright :)

It's a pretty modern camera, so you've got a light meter on the body, along with AF and it should have exposure modes so you can stick it in auto or aperture priority when you're feeling lazy.

I'd recommend starting with a slightly forgiving film like Fuji's 400H. It's C41 process so you can get it developed for dirt cheap, often within an hour.

Do you want to know about the camera specifically (because I have NFI about that camera) or do you want to know more about film? (much more of an idea)

Sweet. I probably wont though, when I do use it Im going to try to be very picky.

Thanks for the recommendation :D. I have some expired bw kodak film lying around so Im going to use that first (you know my thing about expired film)

Well mainly the camera, but if you have some tips about film that would be cool too. Ill try what Veil said, and Im gonna look into getting some kodachrome if I can (and if I decide I like film enough to stick with it).
