I have this old Konic manual camera with the big telephoto lense on it and all manual settings. I need to break it out again and start tryign to take pictures that are interesting. I need to learn the settigns and figure out what works for different situations.

TWO QUESTIONS:

1) Anybody have a guide sheet or something like that to explain the differences and the settings for apeture, ISO, film speed and hwo all the different things interact?

2) does anybody know where I can get add ons for such a camera? I need a new flash for it and I would liek to get a new lens or two for the thing. It is old and I knwo htye do nto make it anymore but there has to be a way to purchase some of this stuff. I will find out the exact make tonight.

Maybe you want to put down the model of your manual camera here so that we have some clue on it?

You might be able to find some info for your first question here (http://www.reasonableexpectations.com/Photography_Topics/Basic_Exposure/basic_exposure01.htm). :)
