hello Keri ,
how do you use it for metering? am i right in thinking its an aperture priority and a fully manual camera ? depending on where it takes the light reading depends on how it exposes .for instance if you are taking a scene with strong back lighting it may take a light reading from the back light instead of the ( person ? ) you want to expose correctly . in that case you would want to either expose for the person ,which would overexpose the back ground or use flash to bring the foreground ( with subject in it ) to the same level of light as the background . you could try using manual exposure more often , if you can imagine a scene in black and white ,try to take a light reading from something that would equate to grey , if you dont want to use manual take a light reading from the part of the scene you really want exposed right and use the exposure lock ( i beleive it has one )then recompose the frame and take pic
and another film user here , mostly mono but i do put the odd colour roll through one of my nikon bodies now and again
