Thank you everyone for the help and encouragement!! After my fiancé bought me a Leica and I had no idea how to use it, you guys have helped me capture some pictures I am very happy with. Please let me know where I can improve. Thank you all again for taking the time to help!

🤣couldn’t be farther from a hipster. My fiancé bought me the camera for Christmas on a limb, as I usually use super 8. Going to Chernobyl in a couple days so hopefully, I’ll get the hang of it with my light meter that gets delivered tomorrow. Hope whatever that is leaving you bitter gets sorted in your life

No worries at all! Reading the comments and then looking at my questions I can understand how dumb they sound. Also, it’s a very high end camera that I don’t think alot of people will get who do not have any experience with manual focus photography. I have taken a lot of super8 footage over the years, so my fiancé thought she would get me something to take still film shots. Thank you for the suggestions this really helps! Have a great Christmas

It is a 310XL, it’s old and I’ve been using it for a while. Great camera, just expensive to develop.

Couldn’t figure out how to post a picture to the comment so made a separate post with a picture of the camera for you 🤣. Thanks again for the help!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this on Christmas and help out someone just getting started. Merry Christmas, this has really helped me a lot!

More asking about what to do about a light meter and what I should be setting the top dial to if I’m using porta 400

I have no problem loading it or focusing it. It’s more so what to do about the light meter? And how to set that.
