There are certain rules e.g. sunny 16 (f/16 1/125 with 100 iso film if I'm not mistaken) You can then change iso/aperature/shutter depending on how cloudy etc it is. Indoors, it is quite hard to guess the exposure but there are also rules.

Can't wait to see your photos... A wide variety of subjects please :) I have been/am doing the same with my father's old camera - a Chinon CX. Not bad, but nothing special - just the fact that it's been in the family so long. Very inspiring… Can’t wait to see your photos… A wide variety of subjects please :)

I mean if I take a picture during the day and I notice my shutter speed is like 2 seconds than yeah I can tell something is off but generally there isn't a way to tell until after you develop the shots. You trust the light meter. There is no way for me to know if the exposure is correct without the light meter.

Nothing beats a vintage Yashica. Make sure you load the right film, like Kodak have numbers 100,200etc or Color. The film enhances the quality of the print. Also try to look out for some cool filters for the lenses. They come in subtle colors and add great effect to the overall experience. Last but not the least, make sure you have a high quality flat bed scanner to scan the films. Enjoy! I own a Yashica and an Olympus SLR. Nothing beats a vintage Yashica.
