     @waifu yes, that's a Smena. they're okay, but they're literally just Camera. no lightmeter or rangefinder, you can't know if you focused on it you have to use something called zone focusing which is setting the aperture to 16 and then anything within a certain radius of focus distance will be in focus because higher aperture means more depth of field (background doesnt get blurred)

     @waifu @lain well not the smena 8s, but the smena 8ms. even the smena 8s are really cheap. 8Ms are the most manufactured camera in the world iirc

     @waifu @lain yeah we were in the eastern bloc and just have a lot of soviet shit lying around. it's why I could afford to equip myself with cameras, photolab, chemicals and paper for less than what my dad paid for our Nikon DSLR back in the day

     @meso@the.asbestos.cafe I guess I'll have to learn a few things or buy the cheapest one to learn first, I barely understand the concepts of aperture and such

     @waifu @meso i really want to get a film camera 40-80 USD was the average price when i last looked. Film cameras that shoot video are a lot more expensive you can get one for a few hundred dollars but Getting the film processed is expensive

     @waifu aperture is a diaphragm on your lens that you adjust how open it is. its the part of your lens thats like the aperture science logo
     
     it has an aperture number, or f number depending on how open it is. the more open it is, the lower the number. for example my camera's lens is f1.7 at its most open. i have some way of visualizing this in my brain so that it's intuitive a smaller number is a bigger opening but i cant explain it. but yeah, at its most closed my camera lens is f16.
     
     it's some mathematical ratio of how much light it lets in so the smaller the number the closer it is to giving 100% of the light or some shit. there's less than 1.0 aperture though so idk.
     
     aperture is important because you must juggle the three different settings when shooting film to achieve the correct exposure, otherwise the image is too bright or too dark
     
     the more open that aperture is, the more light it lets in. so you can shoot at faster shutter speeds, for example at 1/1000th sec shutter speed there's light coming in for a fraction of a second, the more open the aperture is, the more light it lets in during that period.
     
     ISO is the sensitivity of your film, the bigger the number the bigger the grain size. ISO 100 has really fine grain, but due to that there's less photons hitting each individual grain so if there's little light it takes a long time for the grains to be hit enough to become visible. ISO 400 has bigger grains, so there's more photons hitting each grain but that makes it have more grain and more noise because it's a bigger chance of stray photons hitting it and the grains are just more visible.

     @benis_redux @waifu yes, the Sony NEX-3 is pretty cheap, there's even NEX-5s for less than $100. not a DSLR but pretty compact so he can take it out for casual point and shooti

     @benis_redux @waifu i mean if you just wanna shoot in Auto any camera will do. Nikons would still look worse than other cameras because their postprocessing is pretty mid and nonartistic but it will be a photo
