Always enjoy the pics on this thread - so much so that I've dug out my old man's camera from and am going to try and figure out how to use it. Its a Fujica ST605...
I'm off to South Africa in a couple of weeks so plan to use that time to have a play and hopefully get some half decent results. I have little to no photography experience so could be a steep learning curve - just the normal compact digital cameras that everyone has. Ideally would like to shoot a few test roles before we leave to make sure everything is in working order and I'm not completely screwing everything up.
I have managed to dig out the original brochure and manual which I am slowly working my way through now:

A couple of questions that would help me get on my way....
(1) What would be a good all purpose film to use to start with and where is it best to source from?
(2) If I was looking for a zoom lens what would I be looking for in terms of technical specifications?
