I've inherited a few things from my great uncle, including an old Soviet Zenit 12 and a couple of lenses. Pic related, not the actual camera but same model.
I've not really done much film photography before but I'm quite interested in it, and may as well give it a go.
The camera itself seems mechanically fine, but I've no idea when it was last used or even how old it is. What other things would I need to check to make sure it's actually workin? Or should I just put some film in it and start shooting?
Looking at film too it seems that there's a bewildering variety available, are there any particular films I should look for or avoid? Or is it just a matter of trying a load of different ones and see which one I like the most?
