Yeah I'm one of those newfags who fell for getting a film camera instead of a digital cam. Aside from getting the camera for $100 which can be had for $20, I also have a ton of negatives which I don't know how to digitize since I'm saving up for a DSLR to be able to scan them.

But enough about that. My problem now is how can you apply the Sunny 16 rule if it's already night time or if you are indoors. I usually shoot at this time and do night time street photography because I'm at work in the mornings and afternoons. The lightmeter on my camera doesn't give proper exposure and the contact on the battery slot broke so I don't have any lightmeter. I can't use my smartphone since I live in a 3rd world infested with thieves.

I'm shooting mostly with a Kodak ISO 200 film since it is the cheapest one that I can afford.

What are my options /p/? Can I be a master of exposure so I can exactly tell what proper exposure is needed on every scene without any light meter?
