Lenses...help me out

[Danny_511]

Ok all, I'm a complete noob to film photography so I could use your help. But, I've been doing landscape digital photography and photo shoots for a little bit (couple months so I'm still a novice) so I know my terminology. But, my main question is this. A couple days back, I bought a vintage (56yr old) Monica AutoReflex original. Being the young person I am, I bought it for the nostalgic purposes of it, but I did plan on using it. I did a little research and found out that it was pretty much a Film SLR that was ahead of its time. I found out it had interchangeable lenses and stuff so I got excited lol. Anyone know the best kind of lenses to buy? I don't mean type I mean like, millimeter sizes nd just, types of lenses lol. Oh and where I can get em for cheap? Not grown man with a job cheap I mean teenager cheap. Thank you for any help at all.

And I was wondering do I have to use Konica's hexanon lenses or can I use different brands?

Nope each mount is specific so lenses need to be for konica mount. There out there used on craigslist and ebay.
