Newbie Learning to Use FM 10

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum and have a D5000 that I love! I recently got a FM 10 as a birthday gift, which I'm extremely excited about but I have never shot film before. I was wondering if anyone could give me any points, tips, advice, etc. I've been reading the manual but I'm hoping to see if anyone has experiential advice? Anything is appreciated!

Thanks in advanced

Film is different that is for sure. First off you are going to have to find a place to buy film and then get it processed. A lot of what you are going ot have to do is what you have already started and that is read the manual. Past that you are going to have to shoot and experiment.

Awesome - so now get yourself a micro fibre cloth clean your FM-10 very thoroughly and with loving care place it on a self and leave it there. You will need to dust it every so often, repeat these words "I'm so glad I own a digital camera " LOL I have a F3 in which I bought thinking film there is nothing like film( I used to shoot film with an FE & Nikon 601) that lasted for about 3 rolls of film the cost was a $1.00 per photo - no thanks I can shoot thousands of photos for pennies not dollars with digital. However who am I to judge congrats on your new toy.
