Hi!
Aside from some disposables used on tours, I have purchased my first 35mm camera - as the title would suggest it's an Olympus 35 RC.
I have been doing some reading (the exposure triangle, threads on here etc) and trying to learn a few bits so that I don't waste too many films!
If anyone has any tips on the camera (I'm still not clear on how to decide which shutter speed to select), resources for idiots etc, I'd be hugely grateful.
I do have a few questions, which I'm unclear on (sorry they are so basic)
1) What do you do with your film? Do you get all exposures printed? Just get the negatives and scan yourself or get the scans? If you're scanning yourself, why wouldn't you just get the shop to do it?
2) I bought the following films;
Kodak Professional Tmax ISO 100 Black and White
Kodak ColorPlus 200 ISO
I think I really didn't need to buy professional quality(!) but otherwise are these films broadly suitable? Any recommendations would be great!
I'll be using the auto aperture setting to start with until I fully understand the dynamics between shutter speed, ISO and aperture.
Thanks for making it to the end!
