Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm new here, so I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be posting. So a few days ago I came into possession of my grandmother's beautiful agfa ansco speedex special "r" camera, and after a bit of cleaning ant TLC it looks like she's ready to go. I took one semester of darkroom photography in college (and fell in love) but I'm not too savvy with the technicalities and was hoping some of yall could help me out. I do have a holga and am familiar with 120mm though. Since this camera is so old, it's still in ASA. to set the asa, I have the following options: 8 ASA, 40 ASA, 100 ASA, 160 ASA, (then there is a blank section, though it still clicks into place there) COL RD, COL RT, COL ND, COL NT.

What ISO film should I use for it, and what should I set it to?

I have a TON of b&w 120mm 400 iso. is there any way i could use it with this camera?

Thank you so much in advance. I'm having a hard time finding the answers to my queries online (even the manual doesn't say!)
 
I think you posted this somewhere else on the forum.

It won't matter because the camera has no meter built in. Get a light meter and set whatever ISO film you have in the camera and go shoot.
