New user with ESII Film SLR
Hey everyone

I've just recently purchased a Pentax Asahi ESII locally in my city for $50.00. I'm very unfamiliar with both the camera and photography, but have had an interest in both (especial vintage cameras) for as long as I can remember. I've procrastinated learning this art up until now, but look forward to hit the ground running.

Any tips or direction where to steer to will be much appreciated.
