I've bought my first fully manual SLR!
This is my first time taking photos with anything other than a point & shoot so I have a lot to learn :)
My first roll of film is a lomo800, I've set my ISO to 800 and have played around with settings (noting down everything on my phone to review once the photos are developed).
My questions are;
1a) What would happen if I was to change the ISO/ASA setting on my camera? ie. if I were to go to 400 vs 1600?
1b) Can I change the ISO setting after I've taken a few photos on the reel already? I'm not sure what it would do internally.
2) I want to try and take photos at a local concert. Lomo800 does great in low light, but if the lowest I can go is f2 and I want a quick shutter speed I run the risk of under-exposed photos. Is this the point, that's what will look great? Or do I still need to maybe bump up my shutter speed to let enough light in - but risk blurry photos.
What would you recommend from your experience?
I'm having a lot of fun experimenting and learning along the way - I'd just like to have as much knowledge as I can to hopefully get a few decent shots out of my first roll haha!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond. This community is such a great resource. I’m excited to finally buy my first film camera and see how it goes! First roll will definitely be a bunch of test shots :)

Hey!
I’m new to the world of film cameras and was looking for any tips you guys might have :)
I’m looking at getting a Spotmatic and was wondering what the difference between the models are (ie. SP, SP II & SV etc).
With buying pre-loved SLR cameras what should I be looking out for? I’ve heard the foam often needs to be replaced - what exactly is the foam and how can you tell when it needs replacing?
Are there any tests I can do to check everything is functional & accurate?
Thank you! :)
