Vintage Camera : Got any Tips?

Hello !

So I had this post all ready for you because my boyfriend got a surprise vintage camera yesterday. It is an awesome Pentax Program Plus. I was so happy for him [ and a little disappointing for me since mine hadn't come in the mail yet and I am leaving for school tomorrow ] However, my mom surprised me with mine last night ! Now my boyfriend and I are learning to use our cameras together.

I need your help because I could really use some tips. All I know so far about vintage cameras is that I love them, and where the battery goes haha. Any tips for us would be greatly appreciated!

Here is his:
And here is mine:

We would love some help !

  1. I've used these cameras (actually have an old Minolta) before.
    Remember to bracket your f-stops. Eg. shoot your image at three different f-stops (say 4, 5.6, and 8). When you develop your film, one of them will look the way you want it! You might want to get a small light meter to help you.
    Hope that helps!

  3. I had a canon AE-1. It's a great camera. The photos turn out lovely. I got it to replace my A-1 which fell with me, into a river. So not good! :(
