Hello there.
I was recently telling my Dad I was looking at Digital SLR cameras, but due to how expensive they where, couldn't afford one. Especially as I hadn't even used one before.
He told me he had his old film SLR somewhere, and if he could dig it out, I could have it. He's nice like that.
So now I am the proud owner of a Canon EF-M. A quick internet search has shown it might not be the most amazing camera in the world, with no auto focus at all, but due to my happy outlook on life I am looking at that with the "It'll just help me learn to focus" in mind.
So today after work I picked up a new battery and a role of film. The camera shop in town only had one type of film, Fuji Superia X-tra 400, so that's what I've got. Though walking through boots I did spot they seem to have more choice so I'll head back there I guess in the future.
I'm going to head out at the weekend iwth the camera and just play around with using the lens and things and see how it pans out.
Any tips for my first time using an SLR camera?
Cheers
