Hey all
I've acquired a Canon EOS 50 (Elan II) film SLR - my interest in cameras and photography started when the digital era was already well underway, so I figured I wanted to play around and learn more about film photography.
I have never shot on film before, so any advice and tips in general on how to do it efficiently would be appreciated. Also, any advice and tips on using the EOS 50 would also be appreciated!
For a first try I've bought some ISO400 rolls...I see it is still possible to select the ISO on the camera (from 6 up to 6400). If I may ask a dumb question: I was under the impression that the film speed determined the ISO - why can I still select another ISO value on the camera? How does the selected value on the camera interact with the speed of the film?
Thank you in advance for any comments!
