I think the ezpertwasa little off on his directions. The exposure depends on the ISO of the film. With an ISO of 200 on a bright sunny day, set the shutter for 1/ISO or in this case, use
1/200 sec.andin bright sunshine use f16 as a startingpoint. This is the "Kodak Sunny 16 rule".Dependingon the strength of
the light you will have to alter the settings From
this point you can vary the shutter and aperture (f stop) but you have to keep them in balance
I teach classes in basic photography and I have some charts showinghow to do this if I could post them some how. go to http://www.columbiacameraclub.com/ and look for the
forum "The Main Room" on that forum you'll see a topic
"Understanding Apertures" I have an explanation and
charts there to help you see this. You don't need to
be a member of the club to use the site but if you
want to post you have to register on the site.
I hope this helps some of you.

To clean the lens, use an ear syringe and a microfiber cloth. use the syringe to blow off any granules on the lens and then whisk with a corner of the cloth. Next wipe across the lens in parallel strokes with the microfiber cloth. Lens tissue or other type of cloth can scratch the lens. Don't use fluid on the lens as that can lift the coating and move between the lens elements and body. to keep the lens clean and unscratched, use a UV, Skylight filter or a glass optical blank to protect the lens. If you scratch a filter it is a small price to pay for lens protection.
