I got a new SLR...

(1/4) > >>

Kylos:
Well, I say new slr.
I inherited one of my granddad's old SLRs because he knew I was interested in photography, but i've never used one before and I know it's none of this click and go business I have with my digital camera.
Could anyone offer up any hints, tips or things I need to know about using a real camera?

I'll get back to you with the make and model soon.

Ally:
YOU ARE LUCKY. Is it a Canon or a Nikon or something else entirely? If it's Canon then I can give you tips.

morca007:
In general:
-If it has a built in meter, pay attention when exposing.
-Take care to load the film properly, and remember to rewind before opening it!

Kylos:
I think it's an old Canon. I'll get it out of the car in the morning. I have access to various sized lenses too, so any help with those would be useful.

Kylos:
Turns out, I was lying.
It's a Pentax. The only indication to what model is "ME Super" and the "asahi" on the lens cover, if that means anything to anyone.

Photos as soon as my brother gets off the good computer.

edit: While waiting for the boy child to move, i've found out that "ME Super" is infact the model, and it is also quite old and collectable. Well done wikipedia and/or ebay.
