Dave There is not a lot to learn, I have an Ensign Selfix 820, amongst my collection of Ensign's, 4 to date, and the 820 is a terrific camera, one tip is to make sure the film is held under tension with one hand while winding onto the start marking, otherwise it can end up winding lose, and be careful when using the 6x6 mask as the first negative is very close to the tape, I find it better to get the tape off the film in the dark before developing the film, other than that it is very easy to use, and yes, if your wife is like mine then she should start to worry as I find these old folders are very addictive indeed, so far I have 7 MF folders, and 5 35mm folders, and they all get used, Have fun with the camera and let us know how you get on,
Richard
