is this vintage camera good ?

What do you mean by "good"? Technically good or artistically good?

Out of focus shots can win photograph competitions if looks like it was done on purpose. Over exposed images can be labelled as "high key" to cover up the blunder.

If you're talking the principles of capturing in-focus, correctly exposed images then it's the same as digital. The difference is that it's harder to rescue the image if you screw up.

i mean technically good ..i have no problem of artistically good cause i have a good art sense because i use to be an art student .

I only see one. I have no idea what it is for? Does it have any effect on the aperture?

2.8 to 16 is the aperture or f stop.

3.5 to infinity is your focus distance.

4 to 16 on either side of the red line is your depth-of-field.

If you're starting from scratch, forget about shooting film. Get yourself a digital camera to learn the basics and you can go back to that camera once you know what's going on.
