[QUOTE="luisfelipetrigo, post: 810439, member: 87601"] On a previous message the manual was attached (in case you did not have it). The main things to watch on cameras of this time are: [LIST] [*]You have to set the "film speed". This is explained on image 12 of the manual. Initially you should set it exactly as the film maker indicates. Latter on, when using black and white, you can "push" the film... which is a whole different topic. [*]The camera recommends you shoot at 1/125 of a second. This is noted by the different color in that speed. This is because at lower speeds your images might come out blurry (which also happens with digital cameras) [*]With a fixed speed you rotate the aperture ring until the "circle" on the left side of the finder is lit. [*]You have three helpers for focusing, the split image spot, the microprism collar and the matte surface. In my opinion this is the order in which you should use them, the split image is the best, the matte surface leaves all to you. [/LIST] Which lenses do you have? [/QUOTE]
